Columbia Kids Preschool is an educational community of parents, teachers and children age 3-5. For more than 20 years, Columbia Kidshas provided Clark County families with affordable, quality education for both children and parents.
Philosophy
At Columbia Kids, we believe that each child is a precious individual, deserving of respect and of loving guidance in developing to his/her fullest potential.
We strive to provide the atmosphere, the environment, the experiences and the direction our children need to develop self reliance and a sense of pride and confidence.
We use a positive approach to discipline to foster in our children responsibility and a positive self image.
Curriculum
Guided by veteran early childhood teacher Virginia Triplett, both children and parents learn by doing. Our 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds have daily opportunities for fine and gross motor development, social interaction with peers and adults, art projects, imaginative play, physical play indoors and out, and introductory reading, writing and math skills.
Parents learn by working alongside “Miss Virginia,” who has been Columbia Kids’ preschool teacher for more than 20 years! Parents also meet on a regular basis for parent education sessions. All meetings are at the preschool in Battle Ground.
Parent education includes reading and writing projects on subjects such as sibling rivalry, modern media, and brain development, and they provide an opportunity to discuss parenting with Virginia and other parents.
