Our Philosophy

Pusch Ridge Preschool & Kindergarten is the culmination of more than 20 years’ experience in early childhood education in Arizona. 


Philosophy

We affirmatively embrace every child’s unique talents and dreams, believing that each child has unlimited potential to learn about and contribute to our community, our environment and our world. We know that, when given the time, space and opportunity to explore in an interactive, supportive environment, each child will create the foundations for a lifetime of inspired learning.

We believe in the value of human diversity and the importance of cultural awareness. Our paramount goal is to provide a stimulating learning environment that will encourage all children to become creative, independent, responsible and self-directed individuals who can work well with others and make wise decisions.

We know that parents are vital in the role of the developing child, and believe that parent interaction both in the classroom and at home are vital to the continued development of your child.

We are committed to being the best educators, nurturers and facilitators of each child’s learning, by continuing our learning through constant research and awareness, and by growing in our relationships with others through our community commitment, so that we may nurture an inspiring learning environment and surround the children with understanding, warmth and giving.

Our teaching methodology embodies our philosophy, embracing and enhancing each child’s capabilities by offering new insights and experiences. We act as facilitators to their growth, by sharing with them our time, resources, ideas and experiences – gently guiding and encouraging – as each child embarks on a journey of learning . . .
