Community Preschool

Community Preschool has been established as a not-for-profit, non-denominational outreach to the community. Community Preschool is based upon the effective and concrete approach of learning through play. All activities are age appropriate to the social, emotional and cognitive developmental levels of 3, 4 and 5 year old children. Provisions are mad... e to expose each child to all content areas in the environment of the classroom. A "hands on approach" in the learning environment allows the children to explore and learning by doing, as well as challenging the child to discover more on his or her own. The teacher is the facilitator in the classroom and provides the child with the materials and settings to learn within a safe, secure and nurturing environment. This safe, secure and nurturing environment will instill trust in the child in relation to other adults and to his/her peers. Trust in others will enable the child to be secure with their own self and help them to build positive self-esteem. It instills in them the willingness to take risks and take chances with new things. Community Preschool is in operation five (5) days a week from September through May. The 3 year old classes meet 2 or 3 sessions per week; there are two types of 4 year old classes, one that meets 3 sessions per week and one the meets 4 sessions per week. Morning classes meet from 9:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M.; the afternoon classes meet from 12:30 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.; and the Pre-K class meeting 4 sessions per week for 3 hours per session.Read More
