The staff at the Valley are committed to your children and starting them off on a positive path to learning and growing.   

At Valley, we will be focusing on the five domains of early childhood education: 

  • Domain 1 – Approaches to Learning 
  • Domain 2 – Physical Development and Health 
  • Domain 3 – Social and Emotional Development 
  • Domain 4 – Communication, Language and Literacy 
  • Domain 5 - Cognition and Knowledge of the World 

At Valley, we operate with a ‘school family’ mindset, believing that building strong relationships with children and families will help instill strong social-emotional skills while establishing lifelong connections. We strongly believe that all behavior is an opportunity to teach and practice new skills. All children will experience a rich blend of active learning and creative play on a daily basis to help them start their path to career and college readiness.   We meet each child where he or she is at when they enter our doors and help them to grow and to learn in preparation for their career as Addison Knights.  

By building relationships, implementing developmentally appropriate practices, and keeping school safety at the top of our priority list, we create an environment where our youngest students grow and blossom into confident kindergarten students as they exit our program.  They leave us with strong foundational skills to be learners, confidence to be independent individuals, and the social emotional strategies to help them take on new challenges. 

We can’t wait to work with you! 
 

Best,  

The Valley School Family
