Mission
The John Silber Early Learning Center welcomes and educates all learners and engages all families. We strive to create a positive, inclusive learning environment for all students so that they experience academic success and develop a love of learning.
Vision
Students who attend the Early Learning Center will become expert learners and productive citizens. To ensure this, we will build a strong academic and social emotional foundation for our most precious resource—our children.
Our Core Values
Early Years Matter
The early childhood years often set the stage for a child's later learning; thus, teachers at the John Silber Early Learning Center take on a very special responsibility.
Active, Balanced Learning
Teachers provide development in literacy, math, science, social studies, and more through a balance of supervised, independent, and guided instruction.
Diversity & Inclusion
Programs are integrated and diverse—racially, ethnically, and linguistically—enriching the school experience for every learner.
Partnership with Families
Teachers know they cannot educate children alone—family collaboration and communication is foundational to success.
Commitment to Growth
Within a strong support system, our teachers are lifelong learners who collaborate, reflect, and pursue excellence together.
Safe & Nurturing Environment
We create a secure, positive atmosphere where children feel comfortable taking risks, expressing themselves, and developing confidence in their abilities.
