Church-based Presbyterian Preschool

Presbyterian Preschool is an outreach ministry of Mt Washington Presbyterian Church, which serves children in Cincinnati / Anderson
Township and neighboring areas. In fulfilling the commandment of
Jesus, "Let the children come to me and do not hinder them,"
the Preschool affirms a respect for the dignity and value of each
child as a unique creation of God.

Childhood is a time when young children discover concepts about their world and develop concern for others in a caring atmosphere that is supportive, nurturing, and responsive to their individual needs. For their education to be effective, children must be
provided with opportunities that are appropriate to their interests and their levels of development. Parents are respected as the
most important providers of care and nurturing of young children. The Church unites with the parents and the Presbyterian Preschool Staff in fulfilling this mission.

Our Objectives . . .

  • To provide quality early childhood education in a church-
    based preschool setting.
  • To provide developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to engage in open exploration, problem solving, and critical thinking that will enrich and enhance their natural development.
  • To ensure a learning environment that allows young children to become confident and to enjoy successes in a caring, church-based atmosphere that is supportive, nurturing, and responsive to their individual needs.

Our Goals . . .

  • To foster positive self-concept and attitude toward learning, self control and a sense of belonging.
  • To encourage children to think, reason, question and experiment.
  • To develop social and emotional skills.
  • To provide opportunities for fine and gross motor development.
  • To encourage and demonstrate sound health, safety and nutritional practices.
  • To respect cultural diversity and promote social justice.
  • To provide experiences which promote creativity and art appreciation.
  • To encourage development in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies based on the Ohio Early Learning Content Standards.

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.

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.
