Small Blessing's Objectives


Back

      This preschool recognizes that some children have special needs and we will attempt to meet the needs of all children. In order to meet the spiritual, educational, developmental, and emotional needs of our students, we will strive to meet the following objectives:




     1. To provide a Christian centered environment where children can develop inner resources of confidence, independence, and creativity and experience Christian love among peers and staff.

     2. To provide a developmentally appropriate program that offers a balance of opportunities in verbal and listening skills, large and small motor skills, social skills, creativity, and music.

     3. To provide for parental involvement utilizing an "Open Door" policy. Any person responsible for the child may come to the preschool to observe and/or speak with the Director or any of the staff.

     4. To keep channels of communication open through the use of a communication center, monthly newsletters, and encouraging parents to volunteer time in the classroom.

     5. To provide a program that is sufficiently staffed with mature Christian individuals who are familiar with appropriate guidance techniques, developmentally appropriate practices, and positive interaction with children . Background checks have been performed on all staff members to ensure the safety of our students.

     6. To provide a program that offers both indoor and outdoor physical environments that promote growth and development through opportunities for exploration and learning.

     7. To provide a program designed to prevent accidents and illness, and prepared to deal with emergencies should they arise. Children will be educated concerning health and safety practices.

     8. To provide adequate nutrition to meet the needs of growing children. Nutritional information will be provided and good eating habits promoted.
