School Philosophy
We aim to inspire young minds and nurture spirits. We are not simply educators; we are guides supporting each student on their journey of self-discovery and becoming life time learners. Our goal is to walk beside our children with an intentional, loving spirit, which supports their development. We foster an environment that allows children to learn at their own pace and grow in their own ways. We recognize that we hold the key to preparing children to be productive, ready, school aged students. We are Cherokee County School District (CCSD) Preschool!
