Play the LFP way!
Philosophy
We believe children learn best through PLAYful interactions with others in both natural and created environments. By creating relationships with family, peers, teachers, and the local community, this will inspire children throughout their lives to be respectful and compassionate members of the global community! Here at LFP we value and embrace all children and their families!
Mission
The mission of Little Forest Playschool is to provide opportunities, through play, for every child and their family to engage in a developmental age appropriate learning environment, where they can discover: ~that they can grow to be independent learners, ~that they can be creative and divergent thinkers, ~that they can and will be willing to ask questions, take risks and practice self-control.
Approach
Play provides children with opportunities to enhance their social and emotional growth and learn about friendships and responsibility. Social Skills are enhanced through both group activities, such as story and sharing time, as well as through imaginative, dramatic play that encourages creativity, teamwork and cooperative play. Play develops language and problem solving skills as children generate solutions and make decisions.
Inclusion
Little Forest Playschool believes that children of all ability levels are entitled to the same opportunities for participation, acceptance and belonging in child care. We will make every reasonable accommodation to encourage full and active participation of all children in our program based on his/her individual capabilities and needs.
