Philosophy
Our philosophy at The Big Barn Preschool is that all children deserve respect, provide important contributions and are driven to learn and grow. Our expectations as the adults in a child’s life and the environment they live and learn in shape who they will become. Our primary goal is to enable children to develop a positive self image through:
· Social exchanges with peers and caring adults
· Positive learning experiences that are developed with children’s differences in mind and an environment that encourages each child to develop to their fullest potential.
Mission Statement
The Big Barn Preschool provides a loving and nurturing learning environment that enhances intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual growth. Children, who are special gifts from God, are to be loved, respected, and offered challenges that foster interactive learning. Our goal is to collaborate with parents to help develop their child’s sense of independence and a positive self-image.
Parent Testimonials
"We love The Big Barn Preschool! My son has been attending for 2 years. The teachers are dedicated, and providing a loving, nourishing, safe environment. I feel completely at ease, that my son is in their care. The curriculum is excellent. Within 2 weeks, my son learned the alphabet. He sings many songs, learned to count well, learned to write his name in no time. They teach through gardening, cooking, etc. In the summer, they are outside playing with water, and sledding in winter. Highly recommended!"
"I went to visit the preschool and as soon as I pulled on the property I knew this was anything but generic. I took a tour of the preschool and before the end of the tour I knew this was where our children should be. I knew this is what our children deserve and that this would enrich their lives instead of just housing them while we were at work. I actually feel good about my children being in preschool for the first time. It no longer ways heavy on my shoulders. My children come home and excitedly tell us about their day. We have no trouble getting them out the door in the morning to go to preschool. I do not know how this school came up with their staff but I am very thankful they did."
"Wonderful and nurturing preschool setting!: The Big Barn Preschool welcomed my son with loving arms. The well-qualified staff knew how to make the transition from home care to daycare an extremely positive one for my whole family. Their true knowledge of young children and development was evident in everything they have done since our enrollment. Their unique renovated "barn" building is beautifully layed out and child friendly. Since they are a small center, the feeling of a "warehouse for children" never entered my mind while searching for a center to send my son. If you want to send your child to a beautiful, welcoming, all around great place, The Big Barn Preschool is for you!"
"My husband and I decided to enroll our 3 year daughter in The Big Barn Preschool this past January. We chose this establishment based on its small and nurturing environment. Being that this was our daughter's first time away from family, we knew we needed to find a school that had warm staff members to help our daughter in her transition. This school is an EXCELLENT school for first time students and parents."
"My child has been attending for 2 years and I can't say enough positive comments about the Big Barn Preschool. The teachers are wonderful, great curriculum and program. The kids that attend are very sweet and you feel very safe about the environment. Highly recommend!"
