A Mosaic of Minds...All in for All Kids!

Our Mission:

To foster an environment of academic excellence through innovative learning and build tomorrow’s socially responsible leaders.

We believe that our Preschool Programs in Glendale are taught by highly qualified staff who model developmentally appropriate practices and teaching strategies to enhance the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development of each student. We encourage home to school connections with our families by developing effective systems to achieve student success.

Our Core Values:

Integrity, Diversity, Unrivaled Achievement, Employee Excellence, Stewardship, Well-Being, Community, Equity

 

Preschool Collective Commitments:

  • We will collaborate, problem solve, presume positive intentions, and apply feedback to improve our professional practices with everyone who supports our students.
  • We will celebrate our accomplishments and provide positive feedback.
  • We will set short-term and long-term goals to continue to learn, grow, and improve as a team. 
  • We will learn and share new information about research-validated practices with the team.
  • We will be aware of our personal feelings but be conscientious to stay engaged while teaching.
  • We will hold one-another mutually accountable by having conversations with one another as appropriate regarding district policy and preschool processes.
