About Our School
We are a safe and nurturing learning environment where we are committed to creating and sustaining a high-quality pre-school program that supports the development of the whole child. We prepare children to be competent and successful learners who will positively contribute to our community. We consistently encourage students to “REACH” for success by being respectful, excited about learning, in attendance daily, curious and helpful to others. We strive opportunities which will enrich each child’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive, intellectual, and creative abilities.
In closing, everyone is responsible for raising student attendance. Everyone is responsible for creating opportunities for our students. And Everyone is responsible for building relationships with our school community, whether it is students, parents, or your colleagues. As we get ready to welcome students back, I ask that you commit to make this school year the most successful one yet for our students, families, and staff.
