Johnson Pond Learning Center believes:

• that a quality early childhood education creates the foundation for future learning successes.
• that learning to communicate with peers within a structured environment, and on a social level, is necessary for young children.
• that respect for self, others, and the environment is something that is taught and earned.  Learned at an early age, this provides children with the tools they need to be a contributing member of a larger community.
• that young children learn through experience and hands-on activities. 
• that teachers at the preschool level should facilitate, not dictate. 
• that children should be guided toward positive decisions and choices, and self-esteem should flourish.
• that children should be nurtured and made to feel special.  They should be recognized as an individual, not only as part of a larger group.
• that our school is an extension of the home.  Parents, teachers, and administrators must work together to create a warm, comfortable, academic environment for all children in attendance.
• that each lesson each day should benefit the child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth.
• that learning should be fun.
