A Special Place to Grow
Welcome to Valley Parent Preschool, a play-based, parent co-operative preschool in Danville, Ca. Our carefully crafted curriculum is designed to help little ones grow in every way—building big feelings, bright ideas, strong bodies, kind hearts, and wild imaginations. We’re glad you’re here!
learning THROUGH PLAY
Valley Parent Preschool offers a play-based curriculum. Children are natural learners, motivated by their own desire to understand the world through first-hand experiences. Our curriculum focuses on the whole child and provides opportunities for children to enhance their emotional, social, creative, physical and cognitive growth through activities that encourage curiosity and foster exploration.
Through their play, children are learning to think, problem solve and create – skills that will benefit them for a lifetime of learning.
In group play, children are also learning how to be social and how to navigate through different social situations. By trial and error (and appropriate teacher interactions) they will learn how to join a group in play, how to treat and keep friends, and how to take care of themselves if someone is not treating them nicely or fairly. If you watch carefully, you will see them working on personal challenges, social issues or family roles through their dramatic play – quite amazing!
“Children learn best by doing what they do spontaneously, and what they do spontaneously is play.”
— Dr. Patricia Nourot
