OUR
PHILOSOPHY |
| The goal of New England
Preschool Academy is to provide your child with experiences
which foster high self‑esteem and self‑confidence. We offer
your child hands on learning in a relaxed atmosphere, which
grows in structure as your child grows and prepares to enter
the elementary school system. We offer the opportunity for
each child to explore his or her surroundings, learn new
things every day, and learn to adapt successfully to a group
situation. With competent adult supervision and guidance, we
give the children the opportunity to make decisions and put
them in control of their environment. Every child should
leave our program with the ability to meet new and
challenging experiences with
confidence. |

CUSTOMER SERVICE |
|
It is important to us to
give your child the highest quality care available. Please
do not hesitate to speak with your child's teacher or the
Center Director with any suggestions or concerns. You may
also leave suggestions at any time in the tuition box in
your center. We will, throughout the year, have many
opportunities for you to be actively involved in the life of
our center, whether it be through conference sessions or
family/center gatherings. Please always be aware that we are
a group center, and while we strive to meet the individual
needs of each family, we must also always think of the group
as a whole, and make decisions for our students based on
their needs and the needs of their group. |

PROGRAMMING & COMMUNICATION |
|
Our programs are structured
to give your child a well‑balanced schedule of individual
time, group time, and active and quiet activities. We try to
stimulate the interest level of children as individuals,
and to teach them to learn and play successfully in a group
setting. We communicate with our families through daily
contact, bulletin boards, daily reports, newsletters,
progress conferences, and center functions. All of these
methods help to assure a strong liaison between our families
and center. We notify parents of field trips, and require
permission for participation. We use daily incident/accident
reports to keep our families aware of bumps, bruises, or any
unusual behaviors that either occur at our facility, or that
staff may notice while the children are with us. We are
committed to working with families who feel their child may
be in need of special services. We will also communicate to
families if we feel that observations or services may be
needed for any of our students. We have many resources
available to us for referrals so that we may assist the
students and families to the best of our ability.
Parent conferences:
Are held regularly
throughout the school year to give you an opportunity to
review your child's progress. School Age children are not
conferenced at
NEPA. |
