Where Children Learn to Learn

Philosophy

The Perception Training Center believes that curriculum alone does not make effective education and education is more than the teaching of the mind.  To teach in a skillful way requires an insightful understanding of human growth and development. We believe that in order for children to reach full potential in education and in life, we must aid our children to become socially responsive and emotionally available to learning. We believe the best preparation for success is during the early years of brain formation. The Perception Training Center acknowledges the inner spirit and intrinsic desires of children guide intellectual growth. We practice the Montessori Approach in an atmosphere of acceptance and trust.  We believe that children create themselves through purposeful activity in our free, carefully prepared environments.  Our "follow the child" developmentally appropriate practice allows for individual learning and one-to-one instruction with each child at his/her own pace.

The Perception Training Center promotes parent involvement through our active PTO and we have an open door policy for parents. We encourage two-way communication with our families throughout the year and provide opportunities for extra support when needed. We value the diversity of our families. We celebrate the unique heritages that come together to form our community.
