Our Mission
At Ark Valley Preschool, we strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where young children can flourish. Our mission is to support the holistic development of each child by fostering independent thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Through engaging activities and diverse experiences, we focus on social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Our teachers are highly trained in every facet of early childhood education and dedicated to providing exceptional care. Our curriculum integrates the arts, imaginative play, multi-sensory teaching, and daily nature exploration, alongside a rich blend of books, storytelling, music, yoga, and movement. We are dedicated to helping every child thrive in a supportive community that encourages a positive sense of self and respect for others. We are committed to supporting families by offering access to valuable opportunities and community services.
Developing the Whole Child
At Ark Valley Preschool, we believe in nurturing every aspect of a child’s development—social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. Our approach is grounded in the research of Dr. Daniel J. Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson’s The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind.
This powerful framework helps guide our educators in understanding how children’s brains grow and how to support their emotional regulation, resilience, and problem-solving skills. By integrating these strategies into our daily routines—through play, storytelling, mindfulness, and compassionate communication—we help children build strong foundations for lifelong learning and healthy relationships.
We honor the whole child by meeting them where they are, offering tools to help them make sense of their big feelings, and creating a safe, responsive environment that supports connection, curiosity, and joy.
