The staff at the Jessamine Early Learning Village believe:

• Teaching must focus on the whole child and must involve families in the educational process.
• When designing instruction and services, we must ensure that all programs are developmentally appropriate, collaborative and inclusive for all children.
• Instruction is engaging, meaningful, and challenging.
• Individualization is necessary for all students.
• Our curriculum and instruction design must be innovative and research-based.
• Instruction in arts and humanitites is an essential part of each child's education.
• High expectations must be held for staff, students and families.
• We must provide a compassionate, caring, inviting environment for our children and their families.
• Effective communication is essential among teachers, support staff, families and the community.
• Success is dependent on fostering meaningful relationships with children, families, our community, the district and local universities and colleges.
