At Valentina's Preschool, we offer a secure place for children to play and learn with other children. We value diversity, and we welcome children regardless of race, gender or religion. We believe that children learn through active exploration and play, and that self - esteem is built on mutual respect between us all -adults and children. We structure our program to be responsive to the needs of each child. Their activities are problem - centered and often require sustained social, physical, and mental participation. Our children will gain knowledge in language arts, science, geography, Spanish language, visual arts, gardening and cooking; music, yoga and gymnastics are also parts of our curriculum. Our goal is to create a tight community between children, parents and school, where children will come to learn, find a friend, and feel like this is a second home for them. http://valentinaspreschool.weebly.com/.

Developmental (play-based)

Preschool
Forest school is a unique experience that goes beyond trips to local woodlands. Finch Forest School is about how children use a unique space to develop social and personal skills. Our goal at Finch is to positively connect young children with nature by immersing them into the natural world that stimulates the children s innate curiosity about nature. One of the cornerstones of Finch's educational philosophy is that there is no prearranged curriculum. Rather, our lesson plans flow organically from what nature presents us with each day. We believe that children between the ages of 2-6 learn best through direct experience with the natural world. Why should you choose a forest school? Close contact with nature contributes to young children's motor, sensory, social, emotional, moral and cognitive development, as well as children s physical health and mental well-being. Science has long discovered that long chunks of uninterrupted outdoor time, is greatly needed, especially for those who spend considerable amounts of time indoors and in front of media. It seems that too often green time is replaced by screen time. We value unstructured time in nature as it provides opportunity to immerse in nature with no sense of rush. The timelessness allows children to find their own rhythm as they absorb all the lessons nature provides. You may ask if my child is just playing in the forest, what they are learning. One must first see the inherent value of play and second, be aware of the how exploration in nature contributes to learning. In order to keep parents knowledgeable about the children s experience at Finch we will provide a monthly newsletter for parents to demonstrate how the children are leaning in the outdoor forest school. Neuroscience have discovered that young children learn best through direct hands on experience, through play and anything that stimulates the child s imagination and creativity. The curriculum will be carefully constructed with the children s interests, needs and curiosity as the basis of the explorations offered to children on a daily basis.

The Dandelion School is a home-based school in Brentwood. Dandelion offers a variety of programs for babies as young as 9 months old, all the way up to children in elementary school. Director, Laura, along with her husband, Genji, have created a unique educational experience where the excitement of school meets the individualization and intimacy of private lessons all in the comfort of a nurturing home environment. At Dandelion, we understand the importance of small group sizes and the power of a low child-to-teacher ratio. We customize curriculum in order to nurture and respect the developing minds and personalities of all our students. For that reason we are influenced by an array of research-based practices, such as social constructivist theory (Vygotsky), the Reggio Emilia approach, the developmental-interaction approach, and Multiple Intelligence theory. We value the beauty and complexity in the way children process their world and strive to help them understand who they are, as well as inspire a lifelong love for learning.

The Heart House is a new and unique approach to educating young people where the main emphasis is on nurturing a higher state of consciousness in each child. We teach self-awareness and communication skills. Children are encouraged to explore on a moment-to-moment basis what they do and why they choose to do it. Our students develop the necessary relationship and life skills needed to be extraordinary human beings who are confident, curious, and guided by an internal will to learn and succeed. The atmosphere is designed so children can feel safe being their authentic selves. We encourage leadership, humility, and problem-solving skills, enhancing their emotional growth and character. We recognize that young children are fully capable of understanding themselves and learning big concepts. We speak into the child s higher intelligence and the child naturally meets us there creating extraordinary states of awareness. We use basic universal principles, such as cause and effect. This allows children to learn how to naturally self-correct and accept responsibility for their own actions and behaviors. We discipline with natural consequences and encourage self-reflection, which promotes a high state of self-awareness. We promote an environment free of shame, blame and judgement by teaching the children to resolve conflict in healthy skillful ways. We also practice healthy ways of standing up for ourselves, for each other, and for what is true. Our students embrace the question why? or how come? We support them in finding meaning and importance in all their questions.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Sherman Oaks, CA

You can also check your options in Sherman Oaks, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.
