At Southwest we believe that with character and knowledge, every child will have the tools to be successful. So with a strong partnership with you, we hope to have a very successful year. We have worked very hard to prepare for a school year filled with fun, hands-on, learning opportunities for all of our students. We will strive to provide a balanced instructional program, which will stimulate your child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. We are excited about this upcoming year! Together, we will be able to give your child(ren) the tools necessary for success. We believe children will achieve at high levels when the parent and teacher recognize and accept them as unique individuals with special talents and limitations. You, as a parent, are a valuable component of your child’s education. As a part of our team we expect you to attend school functions, communicate with your child’s teacher and to support your child’s learning through activities at home such as daily reading and talking about your child’s day at school. We are a Title 1 preschool in an urban public school system. 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. As Southwest we believe that with character, every child will have the tools to be successful and develop into independent, life-long learners.
