Half Day Program - Day School
Our half day program, located in a separate suite, is available to children ages two through five. Children entering the program must be two years old by September 1st. We offer two, three, or five day a week classes. Preschool begins in September and ends in May. The hours for this program are 9 AM to 1 PM and children receive a morning snack and hot lunch each day* Upon enrollment you will be required to pay a $100 annual registration fee and the first month's tuition, both of which are non-refundable.
Philosophy And Curriculum
Our philosophy and curriculum encompass the following ideals.
- Young children learn best when the opportunity to learn is provided in a supportive, relaxed atmosphere where individuality is encouraged.
- Learning takes place best when learning experiences are relevant to the child's everyday life and environment.
- The work of children is play.
- It is important for children to develop personal and social values, to exercise reason and to develop the ability to choose and make decisions.
- Children should be encouraged to develop positive self-concepts and a growing awareness and understanding of all cultures.
- Children need a physical development program designed to encourage physical fitness, coordination, cooperation, still development, and sound nutritional practices.
- The development of children requires open communication between parent and teacher. Our "Open Door" policy along with parent/teacher conferences and parent participation help develop this.
- School and home must work together for the common interest and well- being of the child.
- Children learn love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control through the examples that are set for them.
To encourage well-rounded growth, children two and a half and older will attend Chapel every other week and children two and older will participate in Spanish class weekly. In addition, children have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities and field trips depending upon their age.
