Philosophy
The philosophy of the Early Childhood program involves the education of the “whole” child, using the HighScope curriculum. The emphasis is on constructive play as an effective learning tool. Studies indicate that play is considered the work of the child, and it is through play that children’s learning and self-esteem are enhanced. Activities and experiences focus on each child’s growth and development socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Rooms are arranged based on HighScope's key developmental indicators (KDIs) in a variety of "interest areas," such as:
Children between the ages of three(by September 1st) up to 5 years of age and who are completely potty-trained are eligible for these programs.
There is a 2 day per week minimum for enrollment. These programs are all billed monthly.
Our Center Based Programs use the High Scope and are committed to providing your child a developmentally appropriate early start to education.

Here are some important points we do not want you to miss:
1. We do not credit your account for illness. We do appreciate you letting the classroom teacher or Kids Club site know if your child will not be attending; however, we cannot credit your account. If your child will be out for an extended period of time please contact our office to discuss your situation.
2. We do not credit your account for vacations taken by your family during your regular schedule. Your payment secures your child’s spot.
3. There will not be credits for weather or building issues.
4. Please remember you must have a REGULAR weekly schedule that is consistent. Every other week or a “rotating schedule” does not work for our system.
5. You may EXIT the program but you will need to give us a ONE WEEK written notice (previously two). Please contact the billing secretary at billingech@dearbornschools.org
