our mission
Our objective is to teach responsibility, to be courteous to others, build lifetime learning and developmental experiences, and encourage the gifts and talents of each child.
Curriculum
At Whistle Stop Station and By the Barnyard Gate, we adopt the engaging Funshine and McGraw Hill curriculum. Funshine Express upholds the belief that effective learning thrives in a challenging, hands-on, and enjoyable setting. This program empowers our teachers to craft a variety of dynamic and enjoyable learning experiences throughout the year. Furthermore, it fosters a nurturing environment that supports social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth and development in your child.
We believe in shaping a child’s early years through vital training. Our focus is on teaching responsibility, courtesy, fostering lifelong learning, nurturing development, and embracing each child’s talents. Days will be filled with play, art, music, and unstructured fun. We aim to create a warm and engaging atmosphere that encourages exploration and learning. We aspire for these cherished memories at Whistle Stop Station and By the Barnyard Gate to stay with them as they venture into the world.
A New Concept
Whistle Stop Station and By the Barnyard Gate were designed with the spirit of childhood in mind. Our welcoming foyer provides a playful space for students, parents, and visitors, while maintaining a separation from the learning areas. Each classroom is a self-contained haven, ensuring children’s comfort and security. Our outdoor playgrounds offer age-appropriate equipment to bolster confidence and motor skills, and we’ve introduced a spacious indoor play area for those sun-drenched or rainy days.
Security is paramount at our facility. The entrance is locked and accessible only to parents with a unique four-digit code via our hub system. Round-the-clock monitoring extends to classrooms, playgrounds, and the entrance. The office staff employs two 36-inch monitors to oversee the premises. To ensure your child’s safety, the entire school premises are continuously recorded.
Each little child God sends our way is like a piece of soft, new clay; “Tis ours to mold and shape and trim to make it pleasing unto him.
