Welcome to
our Preschool and Latchkey
Program
Columbia Preschool
is licensed by the State of
Michigan and has served the
families of the Columbia School
District and surrounding areas
since 1983. The goal of the
program is to provide a safe,
stimulating and nurturing
environment for young children
while enhancing their social,
emotional, physical,
intellectual and creative
development. We believe:
 |
|
• |
That young children learn
through discovery play. |
|
• |
In
the importance of active
learning. |
|
• |
In providing a
variety of hands-on materials
and experiences to meet
individual interests, needs and
abilities. |
|
• |
In children
working toward independence and
cooperation. |
|
• |
In the
importance of process rather
than product. |
|
• |
In the
importance of supporting early
literacy skills and reading to
children. |
|
• |
In the importance
of the home-school connection
and value the parents as the
child's first teacher. |
