Our goal is for your child to have a positive, productive, and fun school experience. Each child’s strengths and needs are seen and respected. We believe a confident, curious, communicative child who links what they know to new experiences will become a joyful, life-long learner.
Selkirk School has been dedicated to fostering the love of learning in Preschool and Kindergarten children in the Sandpoint community since 1978.
OUR PURPOSE/MISSION
The mission of the Selkirk School is to create child-centered, individualized, developmentally-appropriate programs serving preschool and kindergarten age children and their families. Founded on respectful and nurturing interactions between teachers and children, and building on each child’s curiosity and creativity, we come together as a classroom community whose goal is to inspire a lifelong love of exploration, thought, and learning. Our emphasis is on both academics and hands-on play, as it is through play that young children learn. Our core values are inclusion, diversity, and fairness. The Selkirk School is a parent-cooperative school. As such, we work in partnership with each child’s parent or guardian, communicating closely, encouraging family involvement in the program, and offering support and education on issues relating to child development and early childhood education.
