PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY, GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Philosophy San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools recognizes the importance of play in the learning process for young children. We also recognize that parents are the primary caregivers and educators of their children. We work to empower children, promote individuality and develop strong partnerships with families while creating an environment that helps young children attain physical, cognitive, social, language and emotional achievements to be prepared for school.
Each family brings a history of life experience and cultural heritage that is respected and valued within our program. Partnerships between families and the teachers are essential to the growth and development of each individual child.
Our goals and objectives are reflected within each of the quality program components
Family Engagement & Strengthening: Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment for families and invite them to participate as equal partners in the education of their children. Opportunities to participate include, but are not limited to: • Parent Orientation are held before your child’s first day of school • Parent/Teacher conferences are held twice per year. Conferences provide an opportunity for parents to collaborate with the teacher to develop goals for their child • Parent Surveys are sent on an annual basis to gain input on how our program can improve. • Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) m eetings provide an opportunity to learn about child development, share topics identified in the parent survey, provide input on the nature and operation of the program parenting strategies. A great time to network with other parents. • Parent Workshops/Trainings are offered throughout the school year such as nutrition education trainings and physical activity materials throughout the school year.
