The Santa Rita Union School District's Little Bear Creek State Preschool is a preschool and childcare center that provides a safe, loving, secure environment that fosters each child's unique cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language development with a well-planned environment. The program strives to meet both age and developmentally appropriate practices. Children learn by doing and by experiencing hands-on learning. The staff aims to extend and build upon the child's knowledge and also support the children in building strong supportive relationships.
Children are actively encouraged to explore their environment, make choices, and become independent thinkers. Respectful relationships with clear, reasonable limits are established. Students have unique qualities and learn best by being active and experimenting.
