Mission Statement
The long-range goals of Montclare Children's School are the positive growth of the whole child; the development of abilities, interests, attitudes and values that will continue to evolve over a lifetime; and the preparation of children for the transition to kindergarten. We support these goals by providing a stimulating preschool learning environment that encourages cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth.

Montclare Children's School Philosophy
* Our Preschool should provide a warm and secure environment for children, parents and staff.
* The whole child develops best in a non-competitive atmosphere of caring, respect and mutuality.
* Optimum development occurs when children are actively engaged in experimenting and exploring in a challenging and stimulating educational and social environment.
* Children develop the skills needed for future academic success in an enriched learning environment.
* Play is an important method to help children understand and come to terms with the world.
* Children profit from preschool activities directed by adults as well as benefiting from time for privacy and quiet.

Our goal is to provide an atmosphere that:
* Creates a sense of community
* Encourages participation
* Is organized so that children can function independently and confidently with ease and comfort
* Offers room for individual and group activities
