MISSION OF GLENN SCHOOL FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

 

Glenn School for Young Children is a ministry of the Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church.  It is Christian in origin and accepting of all.  At Glenn School, we believe children learn best through play.  Our goal is to meet each child wherever they are developmentally, nurture the child and their family through the preschool years, and lay a foundation for a confident, responsible and caring adult.

 

PHILOSOPHY OF GLENN SCHOOL FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

 

At the Glenn School for Young Children, we believe a child’s self-confidence builds social competence. Guided by this belief, our approach to learning embraces the whole child and encourages each one’s developing sense of self and growing social skills.  At all age levels, we are intentional about engaging, supporting, and challenging each child as they learn about themselves and the exciting world of friends and ideas around them.

 

We also believe that the young child learns best through play and we incorporate this philosophy into our curriculum, emphasizing developmentally appropriate practices for ages 6 months to 6 years to address the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth of each child. Our goal is to foster an environment of mutual respect, cooperation, and responsibility which encourages children to have fun learning and relating to others and prepares them to feel confident and competent in their larger world.
