Masters Preparatory School

In a caring and positive atmosphere we create a warm happy place for children to learn. As we bridge the gap from home to school, we guide children to continued positive self-image while building social skills in a school setting. Sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills are introduced through materials and activities, which are both child-centered and teacher directed. Work is planned which emphasizes the process rather than the outcome, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride. Based on the theory that children learn through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and reinforcement through repetition; schedules are designed to balance structure and free choice, as well as active and quiet times. Recognizing that children grow in predictable stages we treat each child as an individual, working from the level each child has attained and moving forward a step at a time. We teach a love of learning by allowing children to experience their own stage of development and helping them feel successful without pressure. We value the active involvement of parents in our program through classroom participation. Helping parents day enables the children to see their parents as important and concerned members of the school environment, while providing parents with opportunities to view their children’s interactions with their teacher and other children. Parents and staff can share valuable insights, talents and interests to maintain an excellent learning experience for children.
