Little Red Hen School was
founded in 1948 with the belief that children of preschool age
can benefit from organized learning and social experiences outside the home.
Our objective is for children to discover and develop their own abilities,
interests and friendships as well as to learn the pleasures and
responsibilities of being a group member. The goal is to create life long
learners by exploration of study topics via books, computers, group
discussion, imaginative play, community resources and a wide variety of
activities.
Educational Goals:
-
To develop the whole child- social,
emotional, physical and intellectual.
-
To meet the individual needs of each
child.
-
To help each child develop to the
fullest potential.
-
To develop a positive self-concept in
every child.
