Mission
The mission of the Absecon School District’s Preschool Program is to serve children and families by facilitating and sustaining collaboration, while ensuring success for all children; to provide a model program responsive to the changing needs and diverse population; and to enable children to grow independently in a safe and learning environment.
Vision
The fundamental purpose of our Absecon Preschool Program is to ensure that all students receive a high quality education through engaging experiences with partnerships between school, home, and community stakeholders.
To introduce the beginning stages of the learning process to the children while intertwining and helping their developmental, social, and communication stepping stones to unfold. To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment. To help the children make new friends and discover new interests.
Program Philosophy
The Creative Curriculum provides the foundation for academic learning. It is the preparation children need before they learn highly abstract symbols such as letters and numbers. Children will experience growth and learning in their social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development; and families will feel supported and nurtured in their child rearing efforts.
Play enables us to achieve the key goals of our early childhood curriculum. Play is the work of young children. The philosophy behind our curriculum is that young children learn best by doing; therefore, our curriculum surrounds learning through play.
