Serenity Islamic Preschool believes that the most successful Early Childhood program is balance between child-centered and and teacher initiated activities that provides a happy and nurturing atmosphere in which children can develop a positive self-image and a love of learning.
The curriculum is diverse and flexible, offering a varied and developmentally appropriate choice of activities. The children are valued as capable, worthy individuals and are encouraged to explore, to embrace challenges, and to become critical thinkers.
Our Approach
Our school uses the Creative Curriculum because we feel that it is the most in line with our mission of developing the whole child.
Children learn through play and actively engaging with their environment. The classrooms at serenity islamic preschool offer a variety of hands-on experiences and activities: dramatic play, block building, art activities, sand and water play, science, cooking music and Islamic teaching as well as basic Arabic. Each child is unique, and the teachers provide opportunities to stimulate their cognitive, physical, social and emotional development while taking into account children’s individual learning styles.
The faculty and administration believe that a young child learns and lives best in a well-organized environment in which he or she is encouraged to express his or her ideas, experiment, and move about freely in appropriately equipped and organized classrooms.
We believe that the education and well-being of each child is best accomplished through cooperation and communication among all members of the school community. Parents are encouraged to be in close contact with the school, to participate in their child’s school life. We encourage parents to volunteer with their time and talents. An atmosphere of trust, shared concern for the welfare of the children and a sense of community are the most important aspects of the school’s philosophy and practice.
