About Us
Our Mission
​
​Our commitment at the Prospect Academy of Westchester is to create a safe and nurturing environment for each child so that he/she has the opportunity to develop a strong foundation onto becoming a lifelong confident and independent learner.
Our Curriculum
Our preschool fosters a strong sense of community, inviting families to actively participate in school life. We embrace the individualized learning of Montessori, and the play-centered approach education. Our bilingual programs: English/ Russian and English/ Spanish promote early literacy, cultural understanding, and global adaptability, helping children learn naturally at their own pace while celebrating children’s unique learning abilities.
Our Teaching Approach
Our teachers show respect for the children: they provide a loving and nurturing care and at the same time help them do things and learn for themselves.
We put social emotional needs of the children in the center of our learning process. When children have choices, they are able to develop the skills and abilities necessary for independent learning, as well as positive self-esteem.
The children's play is a foundation of our teaching approach. “It may be said that we acquire knowledge by using our minds; but the child absorbs knowledge directly into his psychic life. Simply by continuing to live, the child learns to speak his native tongue" (Montessori, 1966).
We believe that is natural for our children to grow up in an environment where they hear and interact in more than one language and their school should be a natural continuation of this environment
