To ensure that all children develop the necessary cognitive, social, emotional and physical
skills that build the foundation for life - long learning and
early literacy; this is accomplished by providing a high quality, safe and
nurturing environment, responsive to the culturally diverse and unique needs of each child, through individual and interactive learning opportunities, supported by excellence in teaching and research - based instructional practices aligned with the NYS Learning Standards and the District's curricula, in partnership with parents, staff, policy makers and community organizations.
