Preschool

Goshen Friends Preschool is based on Quaker values that encourage the growth of the whole child by addressing a child’s interests, strengths, and needs through a developmentally appropriate and responsive curriculum. Purposeful, child-centered classrooms enhance cognitive, physical, social, emotional, aesthetic, and spiritual growth. Play and concrete experiences encourage discovery, experimentation, interaction, choice, and conversation. These classrooms create a foundation that fosters enthusiasm for learning, independence, cooperation, responsibility, freedom of expression, and appreciation of differences.
