Sundance Vision Statement

At Sundance, we recognize that each developmental stage is important to a child’s growth and development. Early childhood education plays a vital role in shaping future learning, behavior, and health, forming the essential foundation for lifelong development. In the Elementary years, children who are given the space and attention to develop strong skills grow in self-confidence. They develop resilience as they work toward academic and creative successes. Middle school students thrive and rise to high expectations in an atmosphere of kindness, support and challenge.

There is no better facilitator for the positive growth and development of children than love. At Sundance, we express love for children by treating them, their families and each other with warmth, patience and kindness. By providing positive role models, we teach the children one of the most important lessons in life; to treat others, as we would like to be treated ourselves.

Our love for children is expressed through unconditional acceptance of each child as an individual with a unique learning style and developmental timetable. We help every student to develop an appreciation for his or her own gifts and a desire to learn without fear of criticism or making mistakes. This helps engender a lifelong love of learning.

Our love for children is expressed by our enthusiasm, and our efforts to create an atmosphere charged with positive energy. We recognize how our own creative imaginations and love of learning can nurture the imaginations, creativity and inventiveness of our students and provide an environment in which the creative arts and intellectual curiosity flourish. 

Our mission is to help each child grow to his or her full potential emotionally, socially, intellectually, physically and creatively, and to experience real happiness and joy whether this is their first home away from home or just their best!
