Red Door's Goals

 1)      To provide a caring, safe and nurturing environment where learning flourishes and students develop critical life skills.

 2)      To instill a love of learning in each student.

 3)      To develop positive relationships with students and their families.

 4)      To provide a myriad of opportunities for early learning and to build the foundation for future student success.

 5)      To work cooperatively with our community, staff, and LSUCC.

 6)      To insure that Red Door students are fully prepared to enter  kindergarten & 1st grade and that parents, families and our students’ future teachers recognize the level of preparedness Red Door provides.

 7)      To enrich learning skills in the content areas for currently enrolled SVES Kindergarten students; to provide kindergarten readiness learning for final year Red Door Pre-School students.

8)      To engage students in creative, active learning that develops positive social characteristics.

9)      To offer unique programs that enhance the students’ current learning environment.

10)      To position students to accept increasing responsibilities and to foster independent thinking.
