About the Preschool
The purpose of St.
Margaret’s Early
Childhood Development
Center (Preschool) is to
provide opportunities
for children to grow
intellectually,
socially, emotionally,
physically, and
spiritually in a warm,
loving, Christian
environment. We want our
children to build a
positive self-image;
explore their natural
sense of wonder;
discover their creative
spirit; learn
problem-solving skills;
develop self-control and
consideration of others;
increase coordination,
balance, and body image;
and know that learning
is fun!
Our Preschool believes
that children learn
through play. Children
construct their
knowledge by touching,
tasting, smelling,
watching, listening,
thinking, and doing. Our
child-centered
curriculum encourages
choice-making, autonomy,
and social competence.
The exploration of music
and movement, science
and nature, families and
culture, art and drama,
and language and numbers
is integrated into the
Preschool day. Indoor
and outdoor activities
are planned with a
concern for individual
needs and developmental
differences.
The children gather
together for Chapel to
celebrate the joy of
living in God’s world.
Students of all faiths
and denominations
worship together to
explore common bonds,
create awareness of the
needs of others, and
develop a relationship
with our creator.
The Preschool is located
on the St. Margaret’s
Episcopal School campus
in a self-contained
building with its own
play-yard and art
center. |
