Little Lambs, Trinity Early Learning Center

in accordance with the standards set by the Colorado Department of Human Services Agency and the Colorado Department of Education for the group care of preschool children. The goals for this program are:

For the Child:
Provide opportunities to use a large variety of materials appropriate to his/her age constructively and freely; to enhance his/her physical and intellectual development. Provide opportunities to play and live happily with other children in a group, and to learn to trust adults other than his/her own family members in a new environment. Develop intellectual curiosity by having questions answered, by having special visitors, and by taking excursions away from the school. To participate in a planned program which promotes good health by including rest, nutritious snacks, and outdoor play. To learn of and grow spiritually in God’s love and presence. For the Families:
Provide opportunities to meet and work with other families and teachers who have, as their common concern, the interest and needs of the preschool child. For the Staff:
Provide opportunities to meet and work with other professionals who have, as their common concern, the interest and needs of the preschool child. Support and encourage professional growth in the field of Early Childhood Education. For the Community:
Help meet the needs of the community for an early childhood education facility. Contribute to the wholesome growth and development of the future of the community. Provide a setting where people of various social, religious, and ethnic backgrounds can work together for a common interest. Each child is encouraged to progress at their own rate of speed toward enriched experiences, self-discipline and the ability to make choices. A teacher’s function is to help each child to become self-confident, to have an eagerness to learn, and for each child to know they are unique and special.
