Nursery Philosophy
The Prep Enrichment Center has intense interest in the total development of children. To that end we assume full responsibility of assuring parents as they meet the needs of their child’s/ children adjustment, continued growth, and development. We create, validate, and maintain links between learning experiences in the home and those fostered in their educational environs. It is mandated of the PEC to plan, present, and implement a program geared toward an enriching series of educational experiences. To affect the success of the programs of the PEC, parents are encouraged to participate far beyond the regular and necessary monitoring visitations.
