Program Philosophy
The program at T.V.L.C. Preschool/Kindergarten is planned to meet the individual needs of each child. Children are taught at their own level of development. The learning environment contains hands-on experiences for the children in the areas of: Art, Music, Literature, Letter and Number Readiness, Self-Esteem Building, Creative Movement, Cooking Activities, Perceptual Skills, Social Skills, and Large/Small Motor Coordination. The emphasis is exposing children to intellectually stimulating experiences, by way of theme-planning, which are developmentally appropriate. The "process" by which they experience is valued more than the "Product" or outcome. Children learn by doing. Developmentally disabled children may be accepted and mainstreamed into our program.
