The purpose of our Preschool is to provide quality care and enriching experiences for children in a warm, Christ-centered environment.

PHILOSOPHY
We believe that God created each child as a special and unique person. Each child can achieve full potential through encouragement and challenge when guided with love and patience. Stimulation through a wealth of new experiences will promote spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, and social development and growth. We welcome any healthy child, two years through five-years of age.

PROGRAM
We believe that every child should have a well balanced early childhood experience in all areas of growth. Therefore, our program includes the following:

	Bible stories, songs & prayers		Physical exercise
	Music		Dramatic play
	Art creativity		Cooking
	Science & nature		Kindergarten readiness

The above areas are enhanced by field trips and professional guests sharing with the children.

Toilet training is available.

PRE-KINDERGARTEN
The Vineyard Christian Preschool is concerned with your child's overall educational experience. It is our strong desire that each child will go from the preschool years into the elementary years with smooth transition. For this reason we provide a pre-kindergarten program during the last year of preschool for children four to five years-old.

At this stage of the program, we give more attention to reading readiness, beginning math concepts and the development of writing skills. This provides the preschooler with a strong foundation for successful kindergarten and the elementary school years ahead.

STAFF & SCHOOL
Our staff consists of trained and qualified teachers and aides who have knowledge and experience in the field of early childhood education.

PARENT VISITS
Parents are ALWAYS welcome to visit our school. We ask you to make an appointment for your initial visit in order to ensure the time necessary to answer all your questions and observe as long as you like. Any time after that you are welcome to drop in unannounced.
