STEPPING STONES
Purpose We hope the experience at the First Presbyterian School for Young Children, in conjunction with the experiences of the home will enable the child to acquire a positive self concept; to be accepting of others; to learn to express themselves in many ways; be curious, imaginative, creative, and responsible; to want to learn; to enjoy play; to feel loved and secure. The First Presbyterian Church in Graham offers this program out of the basic belief that God is a God of love and that children should have the opportunity to experience this love in relationships with others within a positive learning environment.
Program
Design The First Presbyterian School for Young Children will be open August through May, generally following the public school calendar and their holidays, finishing earlier in May. Our program will be closed for bad weather if the public schools close. All ages participate in Chapel and a Music & Movement program. Infants and toddlers enjoy outside play along with developmentally appropriate learning activities, lunch and rest times (if needed). The two, three, and four year old classes also have daily programs that include; circle time, group activities and individual activities at learning centers, and playground. All children bring a lunch from home. The three and four year old classes also look forward to field trips, cooking opportunities and 30 minute science and computer classes. Art and other thematic activities supplement the classroom curriculum. The HighReach Learning curriculum and all of our classroom activities focus on literacy and language development at all age levels. Our teachers are helping the children reach physical, social, emotional, educational and developmental goals at each child's own rate of growing and learning. We encourage parent involvement and urge you to take part in your child's school. There will be many places for you to volunteer your talents. You will be contacted to volunteer in the areas of your choice. Remember, your involvement plays a critical part in making your child's pre-school years more enjoyable. You are invited to drop by the school to visit at anytime. Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to schedule a conference.
