Intro
Dear Parent,
Welcome to the world of the Wooden Shoe, a world of fun, happiness and
creative experiences for your child. Our goal is to develop the 'whole
child'... to encourage intellectual, physical, social and emotional
growth. At the Wooden Shoe, children are free to express what they think
and feel in an informal and non-competitive atmosphere. We offer growth
experiences every day in an environment that is comfortable, challenging
and interesting and an extension of their home life. Our teachers motivate
the children to develop at their own rate: to learn by playing, sharing
and interacting with others. The Wooden Shoe provides a total learning
experience that shapes your child's growth through positive images and
aims to strengthen our mutual relationship. As a parent, you're an
integral part of our program, and we have open lines of communication to
discuss your ideas and your child's individual needs. Our "Open Door
Policy" means that you and your suggestions are always welcome at the
Wooden Shoe.
Sincerely,
Rosemarie Meyer
Wooden Shoe Philosophy
The basic philosophy at the Wooden Shoe is that our school provides a
"child - centered" environment where the students are encouraged to
participate in the selection of various play activities designed to meet
their needs and interests at each age level. Social interaction and
autonomy is encouraged while important concepts are learned through
"hands-on" experiences. Our overall educational objective is to provide a
positive self-concept through success-oriented program activities.

Your Child's Individuality Is Our
First Concern
The Wooden Shoe Private Nursery School has a superb reputation through
recommendation. We serve a community that is rich in a variety of ethnic
backgrounds. Your child will learn and experience many interesting and
diverse concepts as they relate to children of other cultures. Wooden Shoe
professionals evaluate each child at the beginning of the program, to
determine his/her intellectual, physical, psychological and social needs,
and develop individualized learning profiles for each student. Your input
is of the utmost importance, so we will keep you informed with progress
reports, monthly newsletters and informal meetings with the teachers. This
communication helps us deal with any problem or special need as it arises.
We've been commended for this open relationship time and time again.
