STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
The Alpha School, and the CCHS Early Learning Programs' educational
philosophy is based on meeting the developmental dimensions of the
whole child - physical, emotional, social, cognitive, moral, and creative
development. Knowledge of how children grow and what they can do at
different stages of development enables adults to understand these
varying stages and plan accordingly with concrete, first hand experiences.
PROGRAM
Our programs recognize each child as a unique person with individual
patterns of growth, individual preferences for experiences, varying
learning styles, and different family backgrounds. By focusing on
the whole child, both parents and teachers help to create a partnership
for enhancing a sense of wonder, discovery, and life-long learning.
By setting clear, age-appropriate expectations for behavior and letting
children know what is expected of them, teachers can engender success
and minimize frustration. Children's concerns about doing things "exactly"
right diminish because they are encouraged to learn from their mistakes,
to explore and to take risks.
OPERATING HOURS
5:45 AM UNTIL 5:45 PM
The Alpha School operates 12 hours per day, 260 days per year, serving
children ages 3 to 12 years of age. The building can accommodate 100
children at any given time. A summer program, before school and after
school programs are available for school age children.
