A Non-Denominational Preschool Offered to the Community by St. John’s United Church of Christ
Our Objectives
St. John’s Preschool offers either a one- or two-year program to children ages three to five.
Every class has a teacher and an assistant who provide skills development and tender, loving care for the children.
We use a whole-child approach to encourage and enhance the child’s natural growth and development. We believe that a positive self-concept is essential for success in school and in life. Our main concern is to provide an atmosphere where your child feels good about themself and their accomplishments. Personal and social development are the top priority in all classes. We provide many learning experiences through curiosity and discovery. We also introduce reading and math readiness skills. We have many toys, games, puzzles, building materials, and art mediums for fine motor skills development during playtime. The children have the opportunity for more active play and large motor skill development with our outdoor equipment or with riding toys, balls, and other large muscle equipment in the church’s Fellowship Hall.
St. John’s Preschool incorporates the teaching of Christian beliefs in our curriculum. We teach preschoolers about creation, Jesus’ birth, and His death and resurrection. We focus on Jesus’ love for us, and how we need to love each other. We strive for a learning environment based on kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Daily lessons may include Bible stories, songs, skits, and role-playing. Various church members and clergy may visit the classroom to reinforce these lessons.
