Preschool

Philosophy
We believe that our congregation's mission includes assisting parents in the development of their children. Our preschool offers young children a Christina setting in which the physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth is nurtured.

Objectives

• To teach simple Christian truths related to the child's experiences and level of development.
• To encourage the child in self-confidence, concern for others, cooperation in work and play, and a spirit of sharing.
• To increase the child's skills in listening, self-discipline, conversation, creative self-expression, independent work and independent play.
• To help parents learn skills which promote the growth and development of the child.
