Newport Children's School

"It is my desire to assist my students in developing internal motivation as they aspire towards achieving fulfillment in the learning process. Their educational environment will encourage creativity, intrigue and exploration. It is my responsibility and my joy to find ways to mold these emerging attitudes into a positive learning base for life. Recognizing the importance of creating an atmosphere that the child finds encouraging and inspiring, it is my ultimate goal that my students have every opportunity to develop to his or her fullest potential."
