VALUES
Since PCC Preschool was established in 1965, the teachers, directors, and staff continue valuing that preschool-aged children learn best through play. The children and families that attend our program see the benefit and importance of play-based learning. PCC Preschool not only values play-based learning but also building and nurturing the whole child. Through using play-based curriculum, teachers help children grow and learn in the following areas:
​
Social: to help children develop respectful relationships with others by encouraging language skills and modeling/practicing problem-solving.
​
Emotional: to help children recognize their feelings and desires and to encourage them to express themselves socially in appropriate ways. These are the beginning steps to building empathy for others.
​
Intellectual: to introduce children to the cognitive skills needed to be successful in Kindergarten. Children use the award-winning "Handwriting Without Tears" materials as part of our curriculum for letter writing, number writing, letter, and sound recognition.
​
Physical: to help children strengthen their large and small motor skills through a variety of activities. Children are encouraged to do the things they are capable of doing by participating in “self-help” skills.
​
Spiritual: to teach children about God’s unconditional love and simple Biblical Truths through activities, songs, books, and Bible stories.
