MISSION STATEMENT

The primary goal of the preschool program is to encourage
the development of the total child in a positive and caring environment. Mutual Christian values such as acceptance, respect and trust are fundamental aspects of this program.

The preschool program will serve as a transition from home to the "community" and will strive to:

• Provide a warm, accepting and positive school atmosphere.

• Help children recognize their own special characteristics and abilities; self-esteem, self-control, and independence are encouraged in every aspect of our program.

• Provide appropriate and professional guidance from trained and loving teachers who plan carefully to meet each child's individual needs.

• Help each child handle and verbalize emotions in appropriate ways while respecting the child's right to feel anger, and impatience.

• Share with children the wonder and beauty of God's world we live in.

• Offer a wide variety of activities and hands-on experiences.

The Preschool Office is open limited hours during the summer months.
