VISION and MISSION STATEMENTS

Vision
The vision of the Pre-Kindergarten program is for an equitable future for all children.

Mission
The mission of the Wakulla Pre-Kindergarten program is to provide a positive, safe and healthy learning environment through play, which stimulates and encourages positive self-esteem. This learning environment will be enriched with developmentally appropriate strategies and parent involvement.

Philosophy
The Wakulla Pre-Kindergarten program recognizes that the development of the whole child is essential for learning to take place and that human development can be stimulated and encouraged, but not forced. We recognize that movement is a natural characteristic of the preschool child and is the mode through which learning takes place. We believe in the provision of timely learning experiences that promote growth and development of these children while accommodating each child's unique needs, interests, and abilities. Thus, we see as our purpose, to provide a balanced, nuturing, stimulating, and exploratory program that promotes the total growth and development of the child with a focus on language development.
