The curriculum at Petite Sorbonne Preschool has been developed to foster the stated goals of our philosophy which follows: We believe children should be exposed to a wide variety of challenges in order to arouse their curiosity and encourage self-expression. Each child is unique and has his/her own style of learning. We respect this. At Petite Sorbonne Preschool, our goal is to provide a place where:
- Children like themselves.
- They are secure and valued.
- Individuality is respected and encouraged.
- Creativity and imagination can flourish.
- Individual learning styles are recognized and nurtured.
- Children learn to identify their own needs and those of others.
- Families are held in high regard.
There are four main categories of learning which occur at the preschool level, and the Petite Sorbonne curriculum is designed to focus on each of the four areas:
01). Social-Emotional 03). Sensory/Motor
02). Cognitive 04). Practical skills and training
Our model of teaching is called "High Scope". This philosophy believes in actively involving children in the learning process. On a daily basis, we create engaging and hands-on activities which children can independently choose activities for themselves. We have thoughtfully presented materials available throughout the school.
