Social & Emotional Development:  At Mountain View we provide a warm and loving environment where children receive individual attention for optimum growth in all areas.  We also recognize that life-long feelings of group belonging are formed in the preschool years. It is our goal that each child discover a sense of their own importance and potential, and also recognize the importance and potential of everyone in the group.

Spiritual Development:  We seek to model and promote a love and wonder of Creation, a sense of thankfulness for what we have been given, and an attitude of care and stewardship for the natural world. We want each child to recognize their potential as agents of change, and to discover the joy that comes from reciprocal connections with the people and world around them.

While religion-specific instruction is not part of our regular curriculum, we do use  language that is common to most faiths and belief systems to express wonder and thankfulness (ie, we have a selection of Thank You Prayers that we sing before snack and lunch),  and we share seasonal stories and traditions representative of the families in our care (ie, in December students learn the story of The First Christmas  which they act out as a Christmas Play for their families).

Academic Development:  Our goal is that every child graduates from Mountain View with a love and excitement for learning. Through years of experience we’ve developed high expectations of how much children can learn when they are interested and engaged with the people and world around them.  Our teachers are skilled at pouring enthusiasm and fun into teaching while intentionally role modeling a wonder, excitement and a love for the learning process.
