Our Philosophy & Goals
 | We believe children learn best when there is a strong partnership between school and home. | |
| We believe in educating the whole child -- encouraging social, intellectual, emotional and physical growth. | |
| We believe children learn best in a safe, nurturing environment. | |
| We believe in providing children with opportunities for guided play and social interaction while providing parents | |
| with the opportunity to be an active part of their child's first school experience. | ||
| We believe in providing a carefully planned, developmentally appropriate program that is play-based and | |
| supported by current research. |
At the NHCOOP, we want children to:
- Feel secure in a peer group setting.
- Progress at their own rate of development.
- Become responsible and independent.
- Understand their own feelings so that they can better cope with others and the world around them.
- Learn to respect the rights and differences of others.
- Develop a positive self-image, crucial to future school and life success.
- Experience the joy of learning through play.
