Pinewood Playhouse Preschool opened
in 1985 & is licensed by the State of New Mexico to care for up to 12
children at one time. Pinewood Preschool offers a warm, friendly, family-home
environment. We follow the Rio Rancho Public Schools calendar, closing during
the Summer, Spring and Christmas breaks.
MISSION STATEMENT: This
preschool will meet the educational, physical, and emotional needs of children
ages three to five by creating and maintaining ...an environment of stability,
a staff of caring and trained teachers, AND an environment for learning through
play and opportunities to make choices.
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT: We
believe that children learn best through play and hands-on activities in an
environment that supports their learning and exploration. We also believe that
children learn best when they feel safe. To support feelings of safety and
trust we believe that rules and limits must be clear and consistent. Finally,
we believe that children learn best from staff that are warm, nurturing and
well trained in Early Childhood Education and Developmentally Approved
Practice.
CURRICULUM STATEMENT: Play and fun stories are the
primary mode of learning for children up to age 5. The children make choices
during “free play”; there are numerous opportunities to experiment
and explore. Teachers guide the children in problem-solving social situations.
The children are actively engaged by a teacher at Group Activity Time, Snack
Time, One-on-one Time and Circle Time. |
