Principal Welcome Letter
Dear Early Childhood Families,
We are excited to share a little about the wonderful journey that unfolds at Early Childhood at CIS, where we specifically cater to our youngest learners in Pre-K2 through Pre-K4. For many of our children, this is their first entry into the school environment, and we truly cherish the opportunity to help shape their early learning experiences. Our heartfelt mission is to instill a love for school, a passion for learning, and the joy of building meaningful relationships. At the core of our teaching philosophy is a simple, yet profound belief to center love and care for children above all else.
Witnessing the incredible journey of child development is an enriching experience we feel fortunate to partake in. Our program is both dynamic and experiential, reflecting the rapid growth and transformation that characterize these early years. We are focused on each child's unique path as they step through our doors, and we celebrate every milestone, whether in their social and emotional growth, physical skills, literacy, or core subject areas. Every little achievement matters, and we make it a point to honor these moments together.
Our dedicated and experienced educators excel in nurturing each child's unique pace, ensuring that learning feels both joyful and supportive. Drawing upon the proven, research-based curriculums of HighScope and Reggio Emilia, our approaches inspire teachers to design inquiry-rich environments where children can explore and engage with their learning actively.
Stepping into our classrooms is a magical experience, showcasing what true child-centered and play-based learning can be. The vibrant sights and sounds of our nurturing indoor spaces and expansive outdoor areas encourages curiosity, discovery, and playful exploration.
As we warmly support our youngest CIS learners, we recognize how important smooth transitions are in laying the groundwork for their bright futures. Whether moving from home to school, transitioning between years, or changing classes, Early Childhood carefully curates experiences that set our students on a successful educational journey.
We are deeply grateful for the partnership of each and every family, as we cannot fulfill this important mission without your support. Thank you for working alongside us to embody our Community Principles of kindness, collaboration, sustainability, and good intent. Together, we are creating a nurturing environment where our children can thrive.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Aleksa Moss
Early Childhood Principal
