School Overview
Overview
At The Shepherd's Flock ELC, we believe that the years from birth to six are the most critical years in the development of a positive self-concept, a healthy personality, and a foundation for successful life-long learning.
We further believe that every child is a very special, unique individual; that children learn best through relevant, hands-on sensory play experiences and in an environment that is nurturing, challenging and entertaining.
The Shepherd's Flock Early Learning Center is designed to facilitate the emotional, social, spiritual, cognitive and physical development of each child.
We provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum which is implemented with sensitivity to each child's specific cognitive style and learning pace.
The Shepherd's Flock Early Learning Center admits all children regardless of race, color, nationality, or religious background.
The Shepherd's Flock will make accommodations for children with special needs whenever possible; accommodations are limited to those within the physical and financial capabilities of the Church and School.
Each child in the classroom is entitled to equitable time and attention from the teacher.
If an individual child requires a disproportionate amount of the teacher's time, that child's parents may have the option of providing an assistant in the classroom or withdrawing their child from the ELC program.
Assistants in the classroom will be under the direction of the ELC teacher.
Montessori Children's House is dedicated to providing high-quality, private education based on the teachings of Dr.
Maria Montessori, instilling a desire for life-long learning and developing respectful, responsible and self-reliant individuals.
To accomplish our goal, Montessori Childrens's House seeks to meet the social, intellectual, and emotional needs of each child by providing and individualized, child-directed, hands-on learning experience.
We are committed to providing a prepared classroom environment designed to meet the needs of the two through seven year old child fostering a desire to learn and where learning becomes its own reward.
We believe the principle of freedom within limits guides independent learning.
We expect each person in our Montessori community to accept that freedom with due responsibility and respect.
