Monrovia, CA
The Foothill Preschool

We firmly believe that the first six years of a child's life are the richest and most important. Those are the years that decide what kind of a man or woman that child will become. Therefore, every child, during those years, should have the best training and the best kind of education. This education should help the child: (1) develop to the fullest his or her natural potentials; (2) become a full mature person; (3) and the sense of reality, concentration and independence, self-assurance, courage to face the problems of life and the wisdom to solve them to his own advantage. We believe in the dignity of every human being, and it is our conviction that even little children have to be treated with respect, love and understanding. Discipline is the foundation of the human character, therefore, there cannot be education without it. The child should learn to form a self-discipline which is the result of a mutual respect and understanding between parents and children, authority and subjects, teacher and pupil. GOALS: 1. Develop the prime elements of the child's character, particularly self-discipline 2. Develop the child's intellectual capacities by helping him or her gain the knowledge compatible to his or her age. 3. Surround the child with an orderly and joyful atmosphere to help him make sense of the outside world and build up a joyful and sensible order inside of himself. 4. Surround the child with understanding and love qualified by mutual respect and self-imposed discipline.
