A New Hope Preschool ECE Program is a place that provides child care for families who are wanting their children to learn at an age-appropriate level academically, socially, and emotionally. In addition to providing a loving, healthy, and safe environment. We ensure this to our families by transparent teachers with adequate experience teaming up with families and supporting, with guidance, your children on their own unique path. At A New Hope Preschool ECE Program your child's academic needs will be met by providing a curriculum that includes Literacy, STEAM, Sensory, Social / Emotional, Dramatic Play and Geography. A large piece of this curriculum is Social Emotional. Too often the importance of this is overlooked. People may have all the Cognitive skills down however, without the confidence, boundaries, respecting boundaries, labeling their own emotions, and empathy for others that is all they will be, Cognitive skills. Without the social / emotional piece they will never learn how to apply the wonderful cognitive skills properly and successfully they have and will continue to learn. When you place your child(ren) in our care we believe it is our priority to ensure your child develops a whole solid foundation that will continue to be built on as they grow and continue their journey down their own unique path of life. Our hope is to help ensure your child has the confidence and the know how to be exactly who they are as they face trials and tribulations this world offers us all and they will learn to grow from these experiences and not be defined by them.
