Our Vision & Mission

The Marina Early Education Center Team is committed to producing Kindergarten Ready scholars to become inquisitive and empathetic, mathematicians, authors, illustrators, dynamic performers, and scientists by: 
 
Creating a welcoming and nurturing environment where our students feel safe. 
 
Building collaborative relationships with parents, community partners, and support staff to strengthen the social-emotional health and exceptional abilities of our diverse student population.
 
Delivering high-quality, engaging, intentional, differentiated, and developmentally appropriate instruction reflective of school data, encompassing core foundational skills in Literacy and Mathematics, an integration of the Arts, Technology, and Sciences, to increase academic achievement.
 
Fostering authentic science-based learning experiences that stimulate rich dialogue, inquiry, imagination, and discovery.
 
Ensuring students have access to learning across multiple settings, from indoor play to outdoor play, and from whole-group instruction to purposeful small-group instruction informed by data analysis.
