GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The goal of the Butterfly Christian Preschool is to provide the child with an atmosphere of Christian love conducive to creative play and exploration of the child’s world. Emphasis is placed on the child’s Christian education, social development, mental development, communication skills, and creativity. The Preschool will strive to make school a positive, growing experience.

The Preschool meets these objectives by providing opportunities for each child to participate in group and individual activities. These include: dramatic play, skill building, science exploration, creative arts, readiness skills, creative movement, outdoor play, free choice activities, music, literature, and chapel.

STAFFING

The classrooms are staffed by qualified, experienced, caring professionals who obtain at least 15 hours of training each year. The teachers have education and training in child development and use this knowledge to play developmentally appropriate activities and to be sensitive to the needs of individual children.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

Parents are encouraged to participate in structured and unstructured meetings with other parents and with the teachers. Parent-Teacher conferences are held during February and at any other time the parent or staff feels the need to talk.

Another way parents participate is through providing snack for their child’s class once a month.

GUIDANCE TECHNIQUES

We believe that when children are provided with a loving, caring, environment, designed to accommodate their needs, to encourage cooperative play, and to accept their personalities, they will be secure and happy. Teachers will use a variety of positive techniques to help children adjust to the classroom experience. The Butterfly Christian Preschool helps children learn to have respect for one another and for themselves.

Butterfly Christian Preschool admits students of any race, color, religious, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, and athletic and other school administered programs.
