SCHOOL CLOSINGS
During an inclement weather event, please check our facebook page for immediate information. As a back-up, tune into WRAL (CBS) or WTVD (ABC). You can also check online at www.wral.com or www.wtvd.com. We do not close with the public schools.
Durant Road Preschool, a 5 star center, serves children 6 weeks through 5 years. The center is open 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, year round. We are an observation training site for the Environment Rating Scales Institute.
We believe that:
- Children grow and develop at different rates.
- Children are naturally curious and eager to learn.
- Play is a child’s way of working and learning.
- Each child is unique and must be valued for his/her individuality, interests, and way of learning.
- Understanding and respecting different racial and cultural backgrounds is valued.
Learning takes place through discovery in every experience a young child has. It is most meaningful when it occurs in the context of everyday classroom activities as teachers provide new information and ideas.
Teachers promote desirable behavior through positive guidance. This occurs in an interesting classroom environment, suited to the child’s level of development with age appropriate expectations. Prevention is the foundation of our discipline strategies.
We are partners with families and welcome ideas from parents in all areas of our program. We have an open door policy and parents are invited to visit at any time.
