Mission Statement

The mission of Salem State College Preschool Program is to provide a model program that is responsive to the changing needs of the children, parents, faculty, staff and community.

For the children, we strive to maintain a safe, healthy and nurturing environment where the developmental needs of the children are addressed.

For the parents, we strive to keep the program affordable, and available. Students at Salem State College are given first priority in enrollment. It is our goal to serve as a resource for support and education.

For staff, we strive to provide an atmosphere that will attract and retain well trained personnel, by maintaining good working conditions. We encourage a sense of cooperation and open communication among members of the Preschool community. The Program maintains high educational and training requirements for staff.

For the College, we strive to provide preschool services for faculty and staff; space permitting. We aim to cooperate with various departments, as well as other colleges in the area, and other preschool programs, by serving as a training site for a variety of disciplines that incorporate child development, care, education, health, and safety.
