Not only do children grow, adults learn and grow together as well. Families build community and support each other when working side by side in a cooperative environment. Parents are in an interactive partnership with teachers contributing to their child’s school experience. Through its affiliation with Sequoia District Adult Education, the preschool provides coaching and support by way of teacher-facilitated discussions based on parents' observations, and current early childhood education resources on topics including positive discipline, effective communication, child growth and development, handling transitions, limit-setting and more. And importantly, SPNS families have a wonderful time together and build friendships that can - in our experience - last a lifetime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c206c8e4b0b55b6de1cc76/1479177120431-HF4TRW8GK69XYRPVL76V/DSC_8848.JPG Home - learning through play Our approach to early learning is rooted in developmentally appropriate, play-based strategies and values.
