PROMOTE FAMILY PRESCHOOL & CHILDCARE

The goals of PROMOTE Family Preschool & Childcare are:
- To cooperate with each family to provide a supportive and comfortable atmosphere where each child can develop at his or her own pace.
- To meet each child's needs while they are away from home by allowing both structured and unstructured play as well as individual and small group activities in a safe place.
- To offer our children a positive, Christian environment in which they can become confident in their own special abilities and share those talents with others.

Monthly themes involve a variety of activities to develop a firm Christian foundation. The preschool theme of "Accepted in the Beloved" affirms the love of God for each child. Children participate in activities to strengthen their kindergarten readiness skills including social skills and creative arts. The classroom is divided into bright and interesting learning centers to offer these children an exciting time of creative play in small groups or independently. Each child's curiosity, creativity, learning skills, and self-esteem are enhanced in the loving atmosphere of our program.

School-Age Club (1:12)
Ages 5 –12 years
This program is available before and after school, on school holidays, and during the summer. Teachers in the school-age room believe in an active and inter-active program for the children Teachers in the school-age program find out what things students like to do and then incorporate those activities into the day. After a snack, the planned day includes homework assistance, devotions, and then is split between active and quiet activities as well as indoor and outdoor activities. Special theme days are also planned. Our purpose is to provide a safe and loving environment.
