A Day at Presbyterian Preschool

Children are active constructors of knowledge. At this age they
do this best through play. We strive to make the children feel
safe and comfortable in their surroundings so they’re free to
explore and participate in our carefully planned environment.

Children at our church-based preschool are introduced to a
variety of materials that allow for both repetitive play and new
challenges. Our curriculum exposes children to and encourages
the development of pre-kindergarten skills.

The children's day consists of time for:

• Choice – where they are free to move about the
  learning centers in the classroom

• Group time - a gathering of the children and teachers
  which provides an opportunity for children to feel a sense
  of community while sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings.
  Group time also enables the teacher to introduce an activity,
  read a story, songs, etc.

• Snack time - a nutritious snack and beverage is
  provided each day

• Large muscle activity - on our large, fenced,
  well-equipped playground or in the fellowship hall

• Weekly special music experience

Prospective parents are encouraged to call and arrange a
tour so that they can become familiar with our program.

About the Staff of Presbyterian Preschool

All classes have one teacher and an assistant.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Lunch Bunch Program
A lunch bunch program will be offered on Thursdays from 12:00 Noon—1:00 p.m. beginning in October. Children will have an opportunity to enjoy lunch and story time with friends. Children in our morning program can extend their day. Children in our afternoon program can begin their day an hour early.

Potty Training
Children in the one day program do not need to be potty trained. We prefer that children in all other classes are potty-trained. Call
the preschool if you have questions with regard to this preference.

A Child Medical Statement, signed by a doctor, must be provided before
the first day of school.

Our preschool program starts in September and ends before Memorial Day. We follow Forest Hills Schools for most vacations, holidays and snow days.

We transition the children into our environment gradually. Each family will have an opportunity to meet the teachers just prior to school starting. We will start the children over a 2 day period, so that only 1/2 the class is there on your child's first day. The one day program will come for one hour on the first day.

Presbyterian Preschool does not discriminate in the enrollment of children upon the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
