Our Pledge
We pledge to treat every child with love, respect and care, while instilling in them both knowledge and values. We pledge to provide each and every child with essentials for lifelong learning and the resources to advance their knowledge at their own pace. We pledge to treat every child the same and give them the one-on-one attention that every child needs and deserves. We will always provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children. We strive to guide and assist the children as they learn and grow with us here at Pine Tree in Yorba Linda.

RE-EMPHASIZE
After
many years of expression and experience in educating children, since
1960, our school philosophy is being used as originally intended, as a
method of seeing children as they really are and of creating
environments which foster the fulfillment of their highest potential:
spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual and cognitive. Dr. Maria
Montessori gave the world a scientific method, practical and tested,
for bringing forth the very best in young human beings. At Pine Tree
preschool, we teach our children how to respect individual differences,
and to emphasize social interaction and the education of the whole
personality rather than the teaching of a specific body of knowledge.
Montessori
school practice is always up-to-date and dynamic because observation
and the meeting of needs is continual and specific for each child. When
physical, mental, spiritual, cognitive and emotional needs are met
children glow with excitement and a drive to play and work with
enthusiasm, to learn, and to create.
The high level of academic
achievement so common in our Yorba Linda preschool which embraces this
philosophy is a natural outcome of experience in such a supportive
environment. Our preschool method of education is a model which serves
the needs of children of all levels mental and physical ability as they
live and learn in a natural, mixed age group which is very much like
the society they live in as adults.
