 | Dear Parents, Welcome to The Village! If this is your first year, we are pleased that you have chosen this high-quality program through Littleton Public Schools. Our staff is looking forward to exciting times of learning and development with your child. Since 1995, The Village has provided young children with an academic preschool program that is nurturing, safe, and fun. Many of our teachers have taught at The Village year after year because of their love for early childhood and the professional level of collaboration they have with their colleagues. Our Preschool Program serves the purpose of preparing children for future success in kindergarten and beyond. We recognize and value the importance of having children enjoy school from an early age, learn polite social behaviors, and feel proud when they learn. We prepare students for kindergarten by using curriculum such as Everyday Mathematics and Creative Curriculum, as well as creating an Individualized Learning Plan for each student. We host parent-teacher conferences twice a year to discuss student progress, share work, and strengthen partnerships between school and home. Parenting classes and other community resources are made available throughout the year to our preschool families. Our Infant and Toddler Program opened in 2006. Many of our original staff members who helped open the doors of this beautiful, cozy center are with us today. They are a tightly-knit team of enthusiastic, loving caregivers for our tiniest members of The Village. As children progress through the developmental stages of crawling, sitting, walking, talking, and playing with one another, they are transitioned through our four infant and toddler classrooms. Each room is especially designed with the developmental growth levels of the children in mind. Our staff shares details of every child's day with parents upon pick-up, and caregivers listen to parents about home routines that can supported at our center. There is so much more to do and see in our program offerings. I hope you take a moment to explore our website and find helpful information. You are also welcome to come and visit! Sincerely, Phyllis Dornseif Director | |
