Our Purpose

The purpose of Pierce Chapel Preschool is to nurture the whole child by encouraging the child’s physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual growth. Through providing a safe and loving place for children, we want to help all of our children reach their potential and help them feel secure in the knowledge that God loves them.

Curriculum

Our preschool uses “The Creative Curriculum” by Diane Trister Dodge and Laura J. Colker. This is a comprehensive curriculum that is designed specifically for kindergarten readiness. With this as our base, our staff will also draw from a variety of quality educational resources and incorporate basic Christian themes in various learning experiences. Bible stories, Chapel Time, music, learning centers, and “themes of the week” are key parts of our program. We provide a balanced focus on a variety of readiness skills such as reading and writing readiness, beginning math concepts, socialization, and self-help skills.



Our Teaching/Learning Philosophy

We believe that young children learn by doing; therefore, we encourage hands-on, interactive learning that engages all the senses. We find that the children have so much fun that they don’t even realize how much they’re learning in the process!



Typical Daily Routine

  • Free play or center play
  • Circle Time: including calendar, weather, story time, “theme of the week” discussion, alphabet recognition and sound introduction
  • Table Time: using crayons, pencils, paper, scissors, glue, paint, etc. Usually pertaining to the theme or letter of the week
  • Snack
  • Music and Movement/Chapel Time
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Closing Circle Time: including discussion, stories, sharing and singing.


Lunch Bunch

Lunch Bunch is an optional program that is offered on Wednesdays. For a fee of $3.00 children may bring their lunch and have a social time with their friends until 1:00. Reservations are made monthly. You choose which Wednesday(s) you want, and add the fee(s) with your tuition check for that month. Lunch Bunch money is not refundable or transferable.
