A Child's Garden Preschool
About the School
- A Child's Garden Preschool, a non-sectarian community outreach program of First Presbyterian Church, is committed to providing a developmentally appropriate learning environment for a diverse population of young children ages 10 months through pre-Kindergarten.
- The professional staff understands and is sensitive to the individual needs, cultural heritage and identity of each child.
- A Child's Garden's approach to early childhood education is based on some assumptions about children and how they learn and develop.
- The program has evolved from beliefs about what is developmentally appropriate for young children based on these assumptions, as they have been confirmed by current research and practice.
- Young children affect their growing edge as they actively and continually manipulate the immediate environment at home, at school, and in each encounter in the life-word of the child.
- As the young child constructs, explores, imitates and tests, through 'playful modes of knowing', social, emotional, physical and cognitive development occurs.
- All of these areas of development are inextricably linked and cannot be separated.
