Our Mission
We, the First Christian Pre-Primary School, find purpose in our life together as we offer a quality education at the preschool level in a Christian context. We strive to enlarge and enrich the desire to learn.
Our mission is to be a caring community where each child feels encouraged, cared for, and able to be his/herself. We seek ways to involve the total family and build a true community.
Each child is a unique person with an open-ended future. We at First Christian Pre-Primary make available for the children many possibilities from which they take a what is most meaningful to them. The curriculum goals are open. Some children progress from one development stage to the next more rapidly than others do - hence our goals serve as guides, rather than defining the uniqueness of each child. We strive to enlarge or enrich the desire to learn in each child.
What is important to the children is important to us. We try to listen and be aware of each child's needs, wether it is the excitement of a new baby or the sadness at the loss of a pet. Our underlying consideration is that each child strengthens his/her self-image and that at this Preschool each child feels encouraged, cared for and is able to be his/herself.
It shall be the policy of the Pre-Primary School that all decisions affecting students and their families shall be based on factors other than: national origin or ancestry, age, physical or mental disabilities, political beliefs, or other related factors such as: race, color, creed, religion or sex. All employees of the school will be treated in the same manner.
