It is the philosophy of Marysville Exempted Village Schools Preschool Program that children be encouraged to learn and grow by providing a foundation of developmentally appropriate experiences where all children can be successful in a safe and nurturing environment.
We believe that each child is a unique individual and that all children have the ability to learn. Our program provides an inclusive environment that supports children's different abilities, interests, needs, and learning styles. Our program identifies and addresses preschool age students who have disabilities along with peer models. Age appropriate curriculum is designed to maximize all students learning and prepares them for the transition to kindergarten.
We believe that children learn best through play. Our play-based and child-centered model helps to foster learning and integrates the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language, independence, and aesthetic areas for the total development of the child. Meaningful play encourages and supports curiosity, discovery, problem solving and collaboration which allows for individual growth and development and the development of a positive self-image.
We recognize that a child’s first teacher is their parent. Children learn best when parents are involved in their educational program. We strive to create a bridge between home and school learning by involving families and community in our program.
