PHILOSOPHY

At Education Station & Preschool our philosophy is based on years of education, experience, and research. We believe that given the proper environment, nurturing, and tools all children can grow and develop into successful adults. We want to provide that environment for families in the Gainesville area.
 
Children should have a variety of experiences that help to strengthen their skills and abilities and enhance their development in critical areas including:

  • fine and gross motor skills

  • social and emotional skills

  • scientific exploration

  • mathematical thinking

  • visual literacy

  • verbal expression

  • emerging reading and writing skills

  • beginning technology skills

​​
Our teachers implement a professionally prepared curriculum designed to create opportunities for learning.  We seek to provide these enriching experiences in a loving, safe, healthy, and developmentally appropriate way.
