Philosophy
Thurston preschool has developed a philosophy based on theories and research in early childhood education. Inherent in this philosophy is our dedication to ensuring a program that celebrates diversity by supporting and respecting cultural, racial, and religious differences.
Parent Involvement
A child’s success in school is greatest when parents and school form a cooperative team with common goals. The partnership we foster between home and school in the preschool programs provides for greater continuity and coordination in your child’s learning. The more school and family communicate the more appropriate and individualized the education plan will be for your child.
