Kindergarten Stepping Stones - Philosophy


PHILOSOPHY
Kindergarten is an important time of transition for young children—a stepping stone between home, early childhood education, and the primary grades of school. It is a “children’s garden” where young ones, uniquely created in God’s image, are nurtured to think, learn, choose, and grow. It is imperative to be responsive to individual differences in developmental stage, ability, and interest. Strive to achieve a balance between guiding children’s learning and following their lead, honor prior knowledge as new concepts are developed, and celebrate the intrinsic worth and value of each child. Children bring to the classroom different sets of beliefs, customs, traditions, values, and experiences. The goal of Adventist education is to guide kindergarten children into a loving relationship with God so they, through service, may reflect His love to others.
