PHILOSOPHY
Children come to our individual lives and our school with a natural curiosity. They want to know how the world works. At Woodside our purpose is to teach - an awesome responsibility and one which we take very seriously. We continually ask ourselves how best to support the curiosity, nurture the emotions, guide the behavior, and foster the development of the young body.
In order to accomplish this purpose, we accept our part in the teaching of young children in concert with their families and other community members and are guided by a very simple philosophy . . .
LOOK TO THE CHILD
At Woodside we trust their natural curiosity and their desire to learn. We respect the whole child and provide an environment that fosters a mutual respect for all members of the Woodside community.
* Woodside School is committed to ensuring that all of its teaching staff are either licensed by the State of NH or hold a NH certificate of credential from the NHDHHS Child Development Bureau.
