Statement of Philosophy and Purpose
The Presbyterian Children's Center is an extension of
First Presbyterian Church. It is a Preschool as well as a Daycare. PCC was
developed to meet the varied needs of the young child. We have discovered that
the most influential years of a young child are from birth to six years. This is
when they comprise the fastest, most impressionable growth period of a lifetime.
What they learn during these years will shape their attitudes about themselves
and everyone around them.
The learning experience at PCC will take place in a caring Christian environment
where each child's individuality is respected. We believe that faith and
education go hand in hand and both glorify God.
Our goal is to give each child an opportunity to grow according to God's plan,
at their own pace, with a feeling of "joy of life" and a knowledge
that God loves them.
Parent/Staff Communication
Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled in the fall and
the spring. This is your opportunity to visit with your child's teacher
concerning his/her progress. Parents are welcome to request additional
conferences as needed. The Director is always available to assist in
conferences.
Monthly newsletters, weekly reports (ages 2-K), daily reports
(Infants-Toddlers), and daily notes as needed are all means of communicating
with our parents. Please refer to these notes for information concerning
classroom activities, upcoming events, and specifics regarding your child.
