Our Mission:
The St. Michael's Early Childhood Program at The Church of St. Michael & St. George nurtures wonder and joy through developmentally appropriate hands-on learning experiences for infants through five-year-olds.
Our Vision:
To cultivate a learning environment where students are engaged in inspired learning, where educators support the whole child, and use the highest standards of research based practices in early childhood education.
Our Philosophy:
The heart of St. Michael's Early Childhood Program is a belief that young children learn best through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences that nurture curiosity, connection, and confidence. We are an inquiry-based learning environment where children de elope a strong sense of belonging in a community built on trust, respect, and care.
Our Values
- Care: We use experiential learning and social awareness to help our students use all their talents in caring for others, the environment, and the larger society.
- Community: Our small school size nurtures a strong, supportive community where everyone feels connected and valued.
- Curiosity: We celebrate the spirit of curiosity and enthusiasm in learning, encouraging students to pursue their passions with vigor.
- Respect: We encourage students to honor and appreciate the differences and similarities among their peers, fostering a culture of mutual respect and belonging.
- Responsibility: We instill a sense of responsibility in our students, teaching them to take ownership of their actions and contribute positively to their surroundings.
- Spirituality: Confident in the certainty of God's grace, we encourage children to explore their own spiritual life, striving for peace and justice and respecting the dignity of all human beings.
