About Us
Here at StartingPoint Preschool, we are committed to providing high-quality early care and education through close and thoughtful partnerships with educators, families, child development professionals, and our local state agencies.
The tenets that guide and inspire our work:
1. We believe that children reach their fullest potential in nurturing and secure developmentally appropriate learning environments with caring and attentive adults and meaningful relationships with their peers.
2. We believe the family is a child’s first teacher and the experts on their child. Supporting a child to reach their fullest potential means partnering closely with the family.
3. We believe educators are the heart and soul of the school and as such we are committed to
uplifting and celebrating our teachers’ professional growth through professional development, compensation, and other benefits.
StartingPoint Preschool strives to be advocates for all children, families, and educators within our community and beyond as we lead by example to have a positive impact on the future of our youngest citizens, families, and the field of early childhood education.
