Tauxemont Cooperative Preschool

Our Program

Teaching Moment

Tauxemont Preschool believes that formal education is best begun in the first grade and that our primary purpose is to provide an environment for a child to grow emotionally, developmentally, physically, socially, and intellectually.

Preschool should allow children to

  • Discover that school is a happy place, that learning is fun and rewarding, and that teachers are understanding and stimulating human beings
  • Learn how to work and play successfully with other children
  • Learn to develop their own skills, talents and interests, and to expand each of these to the fullest extent
  • Develop a sense of personal worth and an understanding of the needs and rights of others
  • Develop a sense of excitement and interest in the world in which we live and an eagerness to learn more

How we foster child development

  • Provide a wide variety of activities geared to the proper age and skill level of the children
  • Emphasize personal standards and pride of achievement and encourage the child to recognize that the process is as important as the product
  • Encourage arts in addition to crafts, and dramatic and creative play in addition to organized games and activities
  • Consider individual needs and different rates of development in children along with the aims of group activity and socialization
  • Recognize that the most desirable discipline is self-discipline, and that encouragement and consistent standards are more effective than punishment in the development of self-discipline
  • Offer a developmentally approporiate program with little use of formal devices, drills, and competitive learning
