Letter from the Director
Welcome to Pines Presbyterian Preschool! Call me biased, but I believe you could not make a better choice when it comes to choosing a preschool for your child. Since 1970, we have made it our mission to teach the whole child – socially, physically, emotionally, spiritually, creatively and intellectually. We at Pines share with you the responsibility of developing a healthy personality in your child at a period of time when growth is rapid and important.
We understand how important it is for children to learn their ABCs and 123s. At the same time, students who are socially and emotionally prepared for school are more successful in the classroom than those who are not. With that in mind, our goals for each child are as follows:
- To discover his/her Christian faith through a pervading atmosphere of love and concern.
- To develop a good self-image, a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of worthiness.
- To learn about his/her world and workout problems in a safe environment.
- To develop curiosity.
- To learn how to get along with his/her peers, to respect the property rights of others.
So how exactly do we go about achieving these goals? It’s easy – through play. After all, play is the work of childhood. Technology may change. Expectations may change. But the way our human brains develop does not change. Children learn by doing. They learn best when their entire body and all their senses are engaged. Pines students are active all day long – moving, exploring, investigating and discovering. Through play we learn important social skills such as problem-solving, negotiating, empathy and teamwork. Our teachers are trained to model these behaviors in a positive way and to encourage them in all our students.
Pines is truly a special place where each child is free to develop in a safe and loving Christian environment. We hope that you will choose Pines as your preschool. It’s a great place to grow!
In His Love, Connie Pike, Director
