• Learning about each child through timely and ongoing assessments that guide their instruction
• Teaching and demonstrating respect for and acceptance of cultural diversity
• Promoting appreciation of and engagement in the arts
• Building a dynamic, open and inclusive partnership among the children, parents, teachers, staff, the principal and the community
