PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

The role of the family is of primary importance in influencing the development of young children. We seek to protect and enhance this role through support and encouragement of the family and through family involvement in our program.

All Saints’ teachers view the child as strong and competent. The environment is warm, safe, and joyful. We believe that parents and educators have the responsibility to provide the child with an environment that enables preschool development, builds problem-solving skills, and fosters wise choices.

During the preschool, years, children learn from appropriately modeled behavior and from concrete experiences. Children learn through play and active exploration, not through drills, rote memorization or workbooks. Our preschool uses the Zaner-Bloser and the WEE Learning Curriculum to help the teachers to organize developmentally appropriate classroom experiences for children ages 6 months through 4 years.

GOALS

In addition to stimulating cognitive problem solving, creative expression and the development of strong basic language and literacy skills, our goals include:
Fostering communication among children, teachers and parents.
Supporting the development of social skills, such as empathy, sharing, cooperation, and generosity.

Using an integrated approach to learning that meets the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of the children. Developing safe and healthy habits with an emphasis on hygiene, nutrition, exercise and physical care. Encouraging multi-generational interaction by inviting families and volunteers to be involved in the program.

PARENTAL PARTICIPATION

Parents are a welcome part of our preschool family and are encouraged to visit and observe at any time. We also urge parents to work with teachers to find creative ways for them to contribute to our educational program. Parents are also encouraged to become involved with our Parent Group, which supports our school through several annual events and regular volunteer activities.

RELIGION

All Saints’ Preschool is a vibrant Christian community. Our teachers actively look for ways to reflect on God’s goodness throughout the day. Chapel services with Bible stories, prayers, and songs, are held weekly for students age three and older. In addition, children enrolled in the three and four-year-old program are offered Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, which is a Montessori based program that tells stories of God’s love. Through the use of concrete materials children explore the meaning of Bible stories in their lives. Trained volunteers from All Saints’ Episcopal Children’s Ministry work with the children from the three and four-year-old classes each week.

SUMMER PROGRAMS

Summer programs are offered for children from 6 months to 5 years in age. The summer program offers a variety of artistic, educational, and recreational activities. Enrollment for summer programs is in April of each year.

ENROLLMENT

Enrollment for the following school year is held in late January. In order to enroll, the parent or guardian must complete and submit an application and enrollment packet. In this packet you will find complete information in regard to tuition and fee schedules, as well as other important details. Parents who are interested in enrolling their child or children are encouraged to visit the school prior to enrollment. To begin the enrollment process, please ask to be added to our enrollment list. We will then send you all relevant information as enrollment date approach.

SCHOOL HOURS

Our school operates on an academic calendar (August through May) with special sessions offered during the summer. Hours are: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
