Self expression Self esteem Confidence Independence   The philosophy at Creation Station Preschool is that children express individuality through their creative thinking. Encouraging children to explore and express this creativeness helps to build self-esteem and confidence. By exploring a variety of subject matter children will remain curious and interested to learn, thereby developing individual interests and skills.     Children are encouraged to use language to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas in a way that will be compassionate and respectful to others. Children's rights and feelings are of the utmost importance.     Children, like adults, enjoy doing things for themselves. We encourage independence by allowing the children to dress themselves for outdoor play, prepare their own snack, open their lunches and be self-sufficient in the bathroom. Please remember when choosing clothes, to choose clothes your child can manipulate themselves. This enables them to DRESS WITH SUCCESS!     Creation Station Preschool centers around the children and the parents who love them. Parents are encouraged to come to the school and cook, read, do a project, share a special skill, or just be involved in your child's day.
