Our philosophy at Benson Hill Preschool is to encourage the child's growth and self-esteem through preschool activities and direct parent involvement. We foster all aspects of the child's development, including cognitive, social, emotional and physical development with full sensitivity to each child's interests and needs. We work toward achieving these goals through discovery, exploration, and experimentation as well as manipulation of materials, decision-making, small group activities, and large group interaction. The goals of all of our classes are the same, but because the 3-5 year olds are more advanced physically and intellectually, the means of achieving these goals are sometimes different. More small motor activities, abstract materials and an appropriate balance between child-initiated and adult-directed activities are used to help prepare the 4-5 year olds for kindergarten, as well as to help them become more successful learners in all aspects of their life.
