OUR MISSION:

​

The mission of Real Life Nursery School and Kindergarten is to value and support children, their families, and our staff and to develop a program that helps build strong, moral character and positive self-esteem while providing for the individual development differences of all children...

 

• ...in a caring and Christian atmosphere where we create a safe and secure place for children to learn and grow.

• ...where children are valued for their individual abilities, curiosities, and abilities to play.

• ...where families are valued for their traditions, their commitment to work, their home, their community, and their dreams for their children.

• ...where staff are valued for their vision, their love for children, their skills and knowledge, and their commitment to families.

​

OUR VISION:

​

To provide our community with high-quality and culturally-sensitive child care services, and to ensure the individual needs of the children in our care are met through developmentally appropriate practices by our caring and nurturing staff.

​

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

​

We believe in providing the kind of environment and influences that encourage all children to become creative, independent, responsible, self-directed adults who can make decisions for themselves.

 

We Believe:

​

 

• The home is the most important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support the family in order to promote the healthy development of children and parents.

• Each child has dignity and worth, and the family unit is important.

• Loving, trusting, and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting, and respecting others.

• Each child should be guided toward developing a positive self-image.

• It is important to meet each child’s needs for physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth.

• Children deserve a nurturing, safe, and happy environment that promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn.

• Children deserve to have teachers who are capable and caring and whose values enable them to be excellent role models.

​

Recognizing that children grow in predictable stages, we treat each child as an individual, working from the level each child has attained and moving forward a step at a time. We model a “love of learning,” by allowing children to experience their own stage of development and by helping them to feel success without pressure.
