“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, be will not depart from it” - (Proverbs 22:6)

We believe that a child’s formative years should be shaped by a Christian philosophy of life - both taught and lived. As the personality of the child blossoms with the love of Christ, there will be a solid foundation and a personal treasure that can be shared for a lifetime.

In a context of warm accepting love, our teachers will allow your child to grow into the knowledge that he/she is a child of God, and a person of infinite worth. While respecting each child’s uniqueness, we offer positive structured learning experiences in the five areas of child development: spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional and physical. We trust that this will better prepare your child for a smooth transition to the next level of education.

Since the center operates on the premise that the best Christian nurture of young children actively involves the home, the church, and the Child Enrichment Center working together, parent participation is encouraged and appreciated. All families of the Child Enrichment Center are invited to participate in St. Peter’s services of worship and all other programs of education, fellowship and service.

Children of any race, religion or creed are welcome.

Educational Goals:
As a mission of St. Peter’s Untied Methodist church our preschool program provides a quality, Christ-centered learning experience. Our developmental appropriate, thematic based curriculum objectives include:

1. Teaching about the Bible, God and the church. Our Bible Enrichment teacher shares the stories from the Bible as well as value lessons, and Bible songs at chapel one day a week.
2. Developing social skills.
3. Acquiring basic readiness skills in math, science, art, language arts, music and movement. Our Music and Movement teacher meets with each class one a week.
4. Developing good health, safety and nutritional practices.
5. Developing the necessary fine and gross motor skills needed before entering kindergarten.

Our planned activities will offer each child many “hands on” experiences that allow the children to learn about the world through stimulating developmentally appropriate materials and equipment. These activities help in the development of critical thinking skills and concept development.
