Marin's Vision for the Education of Young Children
Creating intentional play and playful learning opportunities allows young children to acquire foundational social, emotional, and academic skills necessary for school and life success. Inclusive and culturally responsive environments honor each students' development, experience, and explicitly provide joyful opportunities for discovery, investigation, and the development of self-awareness, self-respect, and trusting relationships.
“Doing the right thing for children ecompasses an array of transformational actions and beliefs.
When you do the right thing for children, you champion every child’s right to high-quality learning experiences. When you do the right thing for children, you believe in the inherent value of every child, regardless of background. When you do the right thing for children, you take action to ensure that high-quality, meaningful educational opportunities are provided to every child.”
