An innovative preschool program

Native American Philosophy

As indigenous people, the Tribe strives to provide a culturally supportive environment as a method of teaching children. We strive to bring back some of the old ways of Native American child rearing that includes a peaceful, homelike environment, attention to oral traditions, respect for elders, a close walk with nature and individual spirituality.

The centerpiece of our program in the preschool is creative play.  Through this self-directed, active play, the children learn to problem solve, to think innovatively, and to experience the satisfaction of carrying their "plans" through to completion.  They are allowed to give themselves completely to their work.  The children learn important social lessons about caring, cooperation, compromise, and responsibility. And at the end of playtime, they learn that cleanup is also part of play. By folding play cloths and returning the toys to the shelf, children experience the satisfaction of restoring all to its rightful place and develop good work habits that will serve them well in years to come. We want you and your children to feel welcome and nurtured while at our Center.
