Vision
The mission of the California State Preschool Program is to provide high-quality early childhood education that fosters the development of the whole child, ensuring a strong foundation for lifelong learning. At Fullerton School District State Preschool Programs, we are committed to offering a research-based, child-centered, emergent curriculum. This curriculum is inspired by the educational approach of Reggio Emilia schools, which emphasizes the importance of each child as a capable and active participant in their learning journey. Through this constructivist framework, we encourage children to explore, ask questions, and engage with their environment in meaningful ways, promoting curiosity and creativity.
Our programs are designed to support the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of each child, recognizing that all aspects of development are interconnected and essential for success. We believe in the importance of building strong partnerships with families, valuing their unique knowledge and perspectives, and working collaboratively to support their children's growth. By engaging families as integral partners in the learning process, we create a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters a sense of community and belonging.
Furthermore, we understand that collaboration with the community plays a crucial role in extending the learning experience beyond the classroom. By creating connections with local organizations, resources, and experts, we enrich children's learning opportunities and ensure they have access to a broad range of experiences. Ultimately, the Fullerton School District State Preschool Programs aim to lay a solid foundation for continued success in education, helping each child develop the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to thrive in future academic and life pursuits.
