At Good Samaritan Preschool, we believe that children are active learners. We provide hands-on developmentally appropriate programs that foster a child’s development in the areas of physical, social, emotional, cognitive, language, and spiritual growth. All teaching at Good Samaritan is based on the following basic principles:

• Children learn through active exploration. Our program provides an environment that encourages children to actively explore and manipulate materials.
• Children initiate their own learning. Classroom environments at Good Samaritan are carefully structured into activity centers. Children are encouraged to explore freely while supported and guided by teachers.
• Learning comes from open-ended experiences. Children’s imaginations, reasoning skills, and self-confidence are developed by creative problem solving. The emphasis is on discovery and the learning process, not merely being “right”.
• Adults are facilitators of children’s learning. Teachers ask questions and encourage discussion. Teachers are trained to create environments that make learning happen.
