Our History

Established in 1997 by our Director, Miss Karen, to provide a child-focused learning environment, Morning Star School, Inc. is a private Preschool dedicated to the use of Developmentally Appropriate Practices as listed below and recommended by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children):

  • Appreciating childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle (and valuing the quality of children's lives in the present, not just as preparation for the future);
  • Basing our work with children on knowledge of child development and learning;
  • Appreciating and supporting the close ties between the child and family;
  • Recognizing that children are best understood in the context of family, culture, and society;
  • Respecting the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and teacher);
  • Helping children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust, respect, and positive regard.
