ABOUT OUR PRESCHOOL

Since April of 2000, Trinity Episcopal Preschool has given children the foundation for subsequent school learning in a Chrisitan atmostphere of love and acceptance.  The mission of our preschool is to extend our ministry into the community by providing a positive learning experience for preschool-aged children with a focus on Christian ideals.  We offer an opportunity for young children to experience their first step away from home in a loving, supportive atmosphere. 

While we do plan an active and well-balanced day of learning, our nurturing environment matched with our low student to teacher ratio allows for "teachable moments," those unique and unplanned opportunities during the day which the teachers may use as special teaching and growing times.

Our curriculum is designed to give the children a variety of experiences an learning in social relationships, language arts, creative arts, music, number concepts, and motor skills.  Our trained and experienced teachers match these experiences with the developmental readiness of each child, promoting growth and happiness.  As a result, the children are always playing and working at their own ability and their success allows them to develop positive feelings about themselves.  We believe all children are unique and strive to encourage each child in his or her individual strengths as we prepare them for the future.

PROGRAMS OFFERED

Mom's Morning Out:    2 1/2 year olds (by September 1)

This two-day program is specifically designed for the child to develop a sense of security outside the home, experience creative play, and grow in self-expression and socialization within a group.  It offers the parent/guardian the opportunity to develop friendships with other parents, experience the child's development in an age grouping and enjoy valuable personal time.

In this program, the parent initially attends school with the child and as the child develops, they will be left on their own.
