Educational Philosophy

We want your child’s first educational experiences to be fun, engaging, and challenging so they develop a love of learning! Flexibility and individualization are both built into our Ascend Curriculum so we can fully support the learning needs of every child in our care. Our teachers progressively introduce sets of skills across nine subject areas such as Literacy, Mathematics, Cultural Understanding, and Technology each month, but the activities themselves can be customized to fit the interests and current skill level of each child.

Kind Child

Kind Child is one of the nine learning domains we emphasize in our Ascend Curriculum. We focus on developing social-emotional skills in our classrooms every month and a new character trait like a Positive Self-Image, Empathy, and Friendship every two months. The goal of our Kind Child program is to enrich friendships and to continually elevate every child’s emotional well-being, which creates a Kind School we all enjoy!

Safety & Security

Keeping children safe and security is the top responsibility of any preschool or daycare facility. Winwood South Riding maintains child-teacher ratios that are lower than state standards so our teachers are better able to respond to the needs of their students. We have a secure entry system throughout our center so we can effectively screen families and visitors.

Our school provides our parents with an app which keeps them updated on their child’s progress throughout the day and includes photos.
