OUR MISSION
Johnson Pond Learning Center is dedicated to guiding children to make good choices, develop high self-esteem, receive and show respect through words, actions and treatment of self, others and the environment, learn tolerance, and make positive contributions to the community. We prize each child as an individual.
Our curriculum focuses on learning through discovery and play. Theme based lessons are hands-on and provide children with the opportunity to make choices. Children are encouraged to participate in all class activities and learning centers.
Through play in centers and outdoors, children develop social skills, fine and gross motor skills, and are guided toward appropriate conflict resolution practices. Basic skills are taught on an individual basis, as well as in a group setting. Math, science, social studies, handwriting, and pre-reading skills are integrated into daily lessons and routines. Learning is achieved through developmentally appropriate practices.
We expect children to experience individual successes, as well as to display an awareness of others and a sense of commitment toward the larger community. We expect children to display behaviors appropriate to a group setting. We expect children to develop a love of learning through self-directed and teacher-directed activities. We expect children to have fun, be nurtured, and become comfortable in their environment.
Our school atmosphere is informal, friendly, and fun. We are an extension of the family and strive to present ourselves as nurturers and good role models. Our teachers are educated in child development, are excited about education, and are continually growing and learning. We recognize and encourage their individual teaching styles, as we do each child’s individual learning style.
Our teachers show children a caring community by working together and respecting one another. They are deserving of respect from parents, children, school administrators, and the community.
Together, we (parents, teachers, and administrators) provide an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and fun. Together, we instill in your child a sense of self-esteem and an excitement toward learning. We look forward to beginning your child’s journey…together.
