Our Day...

Preschool children are active learners. They acquire knowledge
best through playful interactions. We strive to make the children
feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings so they feel free to explore and participate in our purposefully planned, caring, early childhood environment.
Children are introduced to a variety of developmentally appropriate experiences throughout the year. These experience foster positive social skills and kindergarten readiness.
Our curriculum is based on the Ohio Early Learning Content Standards and Creative Curriculum.

The children's day consists of time for:

• Choice – where they are free to move about the learning centers in the classroom

• Group time - a gathering of the children and teachers which provides an opportunity for children to develop a sense of community while sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Group time also enables the teacher to introduce an activity, read a story, songs, etc.

• Snack time - a nutritious snack and beverage are
  provided each day

• Gross Motor Development - on our large, fenced,
  well-equipped playground or in the fellowship hall

• Weekly special music experience

Prospective parents are encouraged to call and arrange a tour so that they can become familiar with our program.

Our Staff...

Presbyterian Preschool teachers have degrees or special early
childhood experience. All of our staff keep current with ongoing
training in the early childhood field. The director and teachers
are all members of NAEYC (National Association for the Education
of Young Children) and its Ohio and Cincinnati affiliates.

Presbyterian Preschool is licensed by the State of Ohio.  In 2012,
we were once again recognized as a Two Star Step Up to Quality Center – one of the highest awards for excellence in the care of young children. This recognition is only awarded to the finest
centers in Ohio, those that surpass Ohio's licensing standards
and offer a program that emphasizes early learning and education.

Our Parents are saying...

“Presbyterian Preschool is a great place to learn.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is in search of a preschool.” –Kelley

“Each of my daughters’ teachers has far exceeded our expectations.  It is easy to see she is loved and genuinely cared for while at school.” – Jennifer

“This was my first school experience with my first child.  I was very surprised by the wonderful teachers and the kindness of all the families.  My daughter has grown so much since the beginning of
the year and I am very impressed with the skills she has learned.  She was excited to come to school everyday! It was a very positive experience! Thank you!”  - Courtney

“I am so thrilled that we made the switch to Presbyterian Preschool.  It has been wonderful for both of my children!! Both of my children have grown and developed so much.  My three year old is so much more confident due to his caring teachers who have repeatedly
gone above and beyond what I expected.”
-Meredith

“We have been so happy with the experiences our children have had at Presbyterian Preschool. Our son was especially lucky to spend three years at the school and had an exceptional teacher every year.”  -Amy

Additional Information

Lunch Bunch Program
A lunch bunch program will be offered on Thursdays from 12:00 Noon—1:00 p.m. beginning in November. Children will have an opportunity to enjoy lunch, free play and story time with friends. Children in our morning program can extend their day. Children in our afternoon program can begin their day an hour early.

Spanish Program
We will offer a Spanish enrichment program on Thursday afternoons for interested students. Spanish Registration Form

Potty Training
Children in the 2 1/2 year old program do not need to be potty trained. We prefer that children in all other classes are potty-trained. Call us if you have questions with regard to this preference.

A Child Medical Statement, signed by a doctor, must be provided before the first day of school.

Our preschool program starts in September and ends before Memorial Day. We follow Forest Hills Schools for most vacations, holidays and snow days.

We transition the children into our environment gradually. Each family will have an opportunity to meet the teachers just prior to school starting. We will start the children over a 2 day period, so that only 1/2 the class is there on your child's first day. The one day program will come for one hour on the first day.

Presbyterian Preschool does not discriminate in the enrollment of children upon the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
