Preschool Philosophy

John Knox Preschool is a developmental preschool in which each child is given the opportunity to progress at his own level. We believe each child is a unique individual with his own pattern of growth and development. We strive to maintain a well-rounded program which provides worthwhile and happy experiences in daily living. This program provides growth and development of each child to the fullest extent of his capabilities. Our curriculum inspires investigation, exploration, manipulation and creative expression. Our goal is to help each child build a positive self-image by providing guided opportunities for social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth.


The Preschool seeks to provide for young children the highest standards of Early Childhood Education.


Curriculum

Our Toddler Program encourages individual exploration and introduces fundamental skills. Special emphasis is placed on language development and personal capabilities. We constantly listen to and talk with toddlers to encourage social development. We surround them with age-appropriate toys and classroom tools to stimulate exploration and discovery. Every opportunity is provided to encourage each child to develop his own interest at his own pace.


In the two year through Pre-K classes, our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of the child. We allow all children to progress at their own pace.


The Preschool Curriculum for our two-year olds, three-year olds, and Pre-K Classes are geared to the young child's rhythm of development and designed to nourish his growth. Learning is a creative life-long process which for children begins in play and flourishes in wonder, discovery and active involvement in first-hand experiences which have meaning for them. The school is a place for living and learning age appropriate developmental skills, guided by supportive teachers who work closely with parents.


Individualized learning is stressed in all areas. The curriculum is designed to give the child a variety of developmentally appropriate, quality experience in language arts, math, science, music, art, health, safety, religion and physical education.


Administration

The Preschool is operated, maintained and governed by the John Knox Presbyterian Church. General oversight of the Preschool is administered by the governing body of the church, known as the session, through the Preschool Committee.
