School
Philosophy
It is our philosophy at Home Away From Home that from the earliest
age, children "learn by doing". Children learn best and retain information when they are an active participant in
the process. Our programs have been carefully designed to enable each child to realize their full potential while developing
a good sense of self-esteem. Our Programs
Our programs have been designed to enable each child to reach their full potential. Children are
encouraged to be independent but to also realize their important place in a team environment. Our classrooms run on weekly
themes allowing children to discover something new every day. Students learn through fun and participation in activities such
as science, music, cooking, drama and even a special "show-n-tell" day. Our Pre-K class has consistently
tested in the 90th percentile for kindergarten! After a year of learning and fun we hold a "Moving-Up"
and Graduation Ceremony each June. Our Facility Our 6000 square foot facility, conveniently located on Route 9W, just 2 minutes from Vails Gate was renovated
in the summer of 2004. We have two infant rooms, toddler room, setup room, three year old classroom, pre-kindergarten classroom
and a before and after school classroom. We also have both an indoor and outdoor play area. Every classroom has its own bathroom
and sink, as well as the entire building being central air-conditioned. As an added safety feature, our main entrance has
a security foyer, limiting access through a key pad entry system where each family has their own code for entry into our facility. |
