A Growing Place Preschool Celebrates 40 Years!
|
|
Congratulations to
A Growing Place Preschool,
on their 40th Anniversary!
In the summer of 1979, a group of local parents developed, administered and staffed a non-profit, parent cooperative preschool. They believed the collaboration between parents and teachers benefits the child's development and encourages participation and provides new ideas and opportunities.
We believe that children learn best through play. Our purpose is to provide a warm, inviting, and well-equipped setting where our students are free and safe to play and learn. The equipment and the program are both selected and planned to stimulate social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth. It is our hope that the students' experiences at AGPP will lead them to feel good about themselves, promote satisfying friendships, and help prepare them for dealing with their expanding worlds.
