EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Philosophy

We passionately believe in the value of education, and the importance of treating our children with compassion and encouragement. Our teaching philosophy is based on renowned Swiss developmental child psychologist Jean Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, which states essentially that “children learn best by doing.” Children at The Morgan School are given opportunities to learn through experience and play, with many stimulating activities throughout the day.

Not all students learn at the same pace, or in the same way. Based on this understanding, we evaluate a student’s individual needs and set his or her goals accordingly. Individual goals are designed to be challenging but attainable. Students quickly begin to feel personal accomplishment, which leads to a positive self-image and increased self-esteem.

Parents are an integral part of the individual goals we set for their children. We firmly believe that the key to our children’s success depends upon strong communication with our families. We strive to inform our parents of their child’s accomplishments every day, and we welcome input, questions or concerns.

The Morgan School enrolls children as young as six weeks old, and offers before- and after-school care for students up to the age of 12. The common denominator among all of our children is that they are active learners who are encouraged, challenged, and cared for every day.
