School Notes

  • At Suburban Hills, we believe in the concept that happy well-adjusted children, given the respect and attention they deserve, possess self-confidence, initiative, perseverance, and the ability to work and solve problems in conjunction with their peers.
  • Our building was designed exclusively for early childhood.
  • Our goal is to provide a "total" environment where the children feel at home and are stimulated to learn through discovery and can develop to the full extent of their potential: intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.
  • The teachers at Suburban Hills, experienced early childhood specialists, are our most valuable resource.
  • Many are also trained in C.P.R. and First Aid.
  • They are primarily concerned with your child's needs and the classrooms are arranged and equipped to meet those needs.
  • With guidance, the teachers encourage the children to progress and grow at their own rate of development.
  • As the children participate in both structured and free-play activities, there is continual observation of their present skills, their readiness for new skills and their special learning requirements.
  • The teachers complete progress reports for each child, assessing academic, physical and social skills.
  • Included are: listening skills, language development, creativity, large and small muscle development, mathematical concepts, logic, movement and social aptitude.
