Individuality

Mt. Vernon Early Learning Academy Mini-Marauder Preschool strives to provide each family and child with the opportunity to be themselves, regardless of race, religion, sex, or other financial or social variations. We strive to educate all participants, staff, volunteers, and families on the importance of diversity and how all people have similarities and differences. We attempt to acknowledge all celebrations from around the world throughout the year. This supports the importance of diversity and provides the opportunity for each child to feel special about him/herself.
