Here at Hidden Hills we are dedicated to the philosophy of facilitating learning in a warm and caring environment. Our teachers provide quality care wherein the needs of each child are individually met. We understand that each child is unique and we foster their personal growth and individuality. This philosophy is evident in our child-centered activities, bright stimulating classroom, and in the personalities of each and every staff member.
We know that children need understanding and support as they encounter new challenges. We strive to make the transition from home to school a happy one in which both the parent/guardian and the child feel secure and comfortable. This is a crucial step in assuring that your child's first school experience is a positive one.
The program at Hidden Hills is designed to meet the needs of preschool children at each developmental level; intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. Our curriculum is designed to create a balance between individual and group activities with an emphasis on social interaction. We encourage children to fully express themselves and to develop their individual identity. Our primary goal is to assist children in developing the social skills that will enable them to establish friendships now and in the future as well as a positive sense of self and a passion for self-discovery and learning.
Our curriculum is based on the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards and encompasses a variety of hands-on learning experiences. The children are encouraged to explore freely and are invited to participate at their own pace.
We are fortunate that our center is located in a beautiful woodland environment. The world around us is the perfect place for learning. Whenever possible we explore nature and bring it into the classroom for a closer look. We enjoy nature walks, leaf rubbing, and making nature bracelets just to name a few of our outdoor activities.
In addition, Hidden Hills provides your child with several additional gross motor experiences: ski lessons, swim lessons, gymnastics, and Tae Kwon Do classes are available.
We hope that this brief overview of our program was helpful. Please call, email or visit us anytime. We are happy to provide more information, give a tour of our facility, and have parents and families meet our staff.
