Avenue School Philosophy |
| Harvard Avenue School curriculum is designed to
enhance the whole child and recognize that each
child has a unique process of development. Harvard
Avenue School creates lessons that are appropriate
for the unique development of each child. Our goal
is to help fulfill the individual potential of every
student. Harvard Avenue School believes that each
child has a gift in their love of learning and their
absorbent mind and works to develop each child's
confidence, coordination, concentration and independence.

| Harvard
Avenue School Curriculum |
| Harvard Avenue School program is designed to foster
the creativity and natural curiosity of each child.
It provides excellent instruction and guidance in
mathematics, science, botany, geography, language
arts, practical life (everyday living skills), sensory
development, and art in a relaxed, fun environment. |
|
| Security |
| Every effort has been made to make Harvard Avenue
School a safe and secure environment for your child.
Security cameras have been installed in key locations
to assure your child's safety. Entrance codes are
changed regularly. A secondary entrance to the building,
a security door, is used to insure that no unauthorized
access can be gained. A fence surrounds the playground
to assure that the children are not visible. Once
the children have been accepted into our care, students
will not leave the facility until collected from
the teachers by an authorized guardian. We ask to
be informed in writing if someone other than the
normal parent or guardian will be picking your child
up from school. |
|
| Health |
All children attending Harvard Avenue School must
have proper medical immunization forms signed by
a Doctor. These forms will be given to you at the
time of acceptance to the school. Children will
not be permitted to attend school until all forms
are signed and returned.
Please take care to keep your child home if there
are any signs of contagious illness on a school
day. |
|
| Clothing |
| All children should have a change of clothing
at school in case of mishap. All clothing should
be marked with your child's name. Please furnish
your child with a warm sweater or jacket each day
as outdoor activities are part of our everyday schedule.
Please take care to limit the amount of clothing
left at school as there is limited space for the
children's things.
