Pre School
At that time, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who is
the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand
among them. And Jesus said: 'I will tell you the truth, unless you change and become like
little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little
child like this is my house welcomes me.'" (Matthew 18:1-5)
As educators of young children, we believe each child is a unique individual with his/her
own set of experiences, thoughts, feelings and ideas, and as a unique individual, each
child is a valid and accepted member of the nursery school group. The major goal of the
pre school program is to promote each child's development of a positive self-image.
This goal is achieved by the program's close ties to the child's family, the daily
schedule of activities, the behavioral management techniques used by the staff, the
quality of the child's relationships with peers and adults, and various projects and
activities throughout the school year.
Social play is an important activity for the young child since play facilitates the
development of the whole child. Each child brings to the classroom new experiences, needs,
interests, ideas and feelings. Those things a child brings to the nursery school group
help determine the curriculum for the child and the group. We also respect and honor the
role of the parent in the child's life and use a parent-teacher team approach in our
program.
We offer 2 day, 3 day, and 5 day, half day programs for children 3 years old
by September 1st.
We are happy to introduce our new
Tot Program open to children 2 1/2 years old by September 1st.
The Tot Program will meet
2 mornings a week from 9:15am to 11:15am.
