We want your child to have many interesting opportunities to learn and explore with other children in a stimulating environment. We want to encourage your child to grow as an individual, and also to experience friendship and caring toward others. We want to be a support to parents in the difficult, but rewarding task of childrearing, and to respond to the needs of the community for quality care for children. We encourage participation of families from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Accredited programs provide safe and nurturing environments while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children.
Classrooms have low child to adult ratios.
In addition, student teachers and volunteers add a lot to the children's classroom experience and allow us to more effectively meet the needs of each child. The preschool began in 1986 under the direction of Kathleen Fry-Miller who currently serves on the Preschool Advisory Committee, along with a preschool parent, a church member, and preschool directors. Each year we have had parents involved in our program as assistant teachers or substitute teachers on both a regular and irregular basis, from once a week to once a year. We know that parents have developed many skills through working with their own and other children. Parents enjoy being involved in the program and receive a tuition discount.
