A PLACE TO GROW

Our young scholars are inquisitive, imaginative and enthusiastic learners who achieve academic success. They develop critical thinking, social, and emotional skills through cooperative learning and productive play. Positive learning experiences create lifelong learners who are caring, independent thinkers that contribute to the community. Our educators inspire all scholars to succeed academically and socially. A strong professional community of teachers, staff and administrators who collaborate to create a nurturing school environment with rigorous instructional standards. Data is frequently analyzed and instruction is continuously examined to implement best instructional practices. Our families and community are vital to the success of our scholars. The partnership between home and school is valued. The families and community are actively involved in school activities and decision-making. Family members are given opportunities to develop academic knowledge to support the needs of our scholars. Our school provides a rich learning environment where diversity is celebrated. Each classroom is equipped with state-of-the-art technology which enhances learning. The classrooms are bright and inviting. The curriculum is relevant, rigorous and based on scholar interests and current standards. Our young scholars, educators and families explore, take risks, learn and succeed at A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center.
