MARIPOSA PRE-K PROGRAM: OUR PROGRAM ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO LEARN BY IMAGINING, INVENTING, BUILDING, ROLE-PLAYING, AND CREATING THEIR OWN PLAY ENVIRONMENTS. THIS METHOD INFORMS CONFIDENCE, COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, AND CREATIVE THINKING. THE PROGRAM OFFERS A WAY FOR PARENTS TO ENGAGE IN A MEANINGFUL WAY WITH THEIR CHILDREN. THE PROGRAM OFFERS CLOSE OBSERVATION BY THE TEACHER AND POSITIVE TEACHER-CHILD INTERACTIONS WHICH MOVE EACH CHILD FORWARD IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL LEARNING. WE BELIEVE IN TEACHERS AS ROLE MODELS FOR LEARNING & HEALTHY LIVING. WE BUILD ON THE STRENGTHS OF FAMILIES. AS AN ALL-DAY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR PRE-KINDERGARTEN, THE PROGRAM SERVES AS A LABORATORY FOR RESEARCH ON TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS, AS WELL AS AN INCUBATOR FOR DEVELOPING A MODEL OF CHILDHOOD LEARNING IN URBAN SETTINGS.
