Program Overview
Purpose.
The purpose of our preschool and daycare is to provide a Christian environment where your child can be nurtured and educated. We incorporate Biblical principals and Christian love in all we do. In fact, our school's motto is "Love Grows Here." We are committed to assisting you with the growth and development of your child(ren) from a comprehensive point of view: This includes physically, emotionally, socially, creatively, intellectually and spiritually.
Our staff has been carefully chosen to reflect our philosophy and goals. Each member is trained in Early Childhood Education and meets state requirements for working in a licensed child care center. Each staff member is dedicated to creating an atmosphere of love and care for your child. Our staff participates in a continuous program of in-service training and seeks to stay informed of Early Childhood educational needs in an effort to support and serve our families and students.
Philosophy.
We base our philosophy of childcare on the Christian principals laid out for us in the Word of God – the Bible. We believe that each child is a special gift from God and should be treated with love as modeled by Jesus Christ. That's why our school's slogan is "Love Grows Here”. We believe that:
Each child is unique and therefore early learning should be developmentally appropriate and based on each child’s individual needs and abilities. An early childhood education program should provide an environment where children are safe to develop to their fullest potential physically, emotionally, socially, creatively, intellectually and spiritually. Early childhood care and education is a joint ministry that involves the school, the church, the staff, the family, and the child.
Our school is also in compliance with the highest standards laid out by local, county and state requirements. VCC Preschool operates as an integral entity of Valley Community Chapel who, as the main body of the over-all operation, has the ultimate responsibility of insuring this compliance.
Goals.
The goal of VCC Preschool is to provide a Christian environment where the whole child can be nurtured and educated. God and His love for us are not just limited to “Bible time" but are included in all areas of study throughout the day. Our primary goals are to provide:Opportunities for Christian growth through Bible stories, songs, and Chapel time.Activities for the child that help build a positive foundation for future social, physical and academic interests.Opportunities to develop self-esteem and self-confidence.Time for children to work and play cooperatively and develop social relationships.
