Message from our Principal
 |
| My
name is Elaine Schmidt and I have the privilege of being the principal
of Barron Early Childhood School. Our school is the realization of
dreams shaped and nurtured by parents, teachers and administrators
to provide young learners with a high quality education. It is also
a response to important research that has, again and again, underlined
the significance of early childhood education in shaping a lifetime
of learning. Educator David Elkind observers, “No matter what philosophy of life we espouse, it is important to see childhood as a stage of life, not just as the anteroom to life. Hurrying children into adulthood violates the sanctity of life by giving one period priority over another. But if we really value human life, we will value each period equally and give unto each stage of life what is appropriate to that stage. . .. Valuing childhood does not mean seeing it as a happy innocent period but, rather, as an important period of life to which children are entitled. It is children’s right to be children . . .” It is our mission to value this stage of their lives. We celebrate that mission and invite you to become a part of it. Barron Early Childhood School is the place for every preschool child. |
