In 2007 New Milestone was created with the mission of providing preschoolers with a safe nurturing environment in which to grow and learn. Our program incorporates all content areas including: Art Music Science Math Social Studies in addition to Social Emotional components. All areas are adapted and modified to meet each child’s individual needs. We believe that a child’s greatest tool in the creation of self is their play. Through play children are able to actively explore manipulate investigate interact create discover and take risks. Children are endowed with a natural curiosity about their world. With the manipulation of concrete materials children can develop new understandings about their environment relationships with others as well as their experiences.

New Milestone works to create an environment that promotes self-esteem self confidence self sufficiency and self expression. Children will be provided with many opportunities to socialize and develop their expressive language. As schools based in the Reggio Emilia’s train of thought New Milestone views each child as the main character and contributor. Their primary role is that of communicator by either verbalizing using affect (facial expressions) and/or utilizing symbolic representation i.e. painting sculpting dramatic play movement and music. We consider our environment a fourth teacher encouraging the children to become aware of space organization as well as aesthetics. Your role as the parent is that of partner. Furthermore each teaching teams role is one of researcher and documenter.
