About Us
Preschool Program for 3-5 year olds
Our preschool provides an environment that builds on each child’s strengths, and features a safe, loving and caring environment, in which early childhood academics, socialization, and Christian education are all components.
TCA encourages self-regulation, so children are aware of their behaviors and how those behaviors affect others. We challenge children by encouraging them to explore their own interests and better understand themselves and the world around them.
Our teachers are aware of each child’s growth and development-physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, and ethically. Our current curriculums are theme centered, based on children's literature, and include components to allow for your child’s growth in spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, and emotional development. Physical education and library story time are featured weekly.
Each classroom provides a friendly and educationally stimulating environment for your child with a dramatic play area, sensory activities, reading corner, science centers, small manipulatives for math and literacy, and a block center. It is our desire for each child to create his/her own structure for learning.
We believe that true learning comes only when parents and teachers maintain a strong partnership that encourages and supports each child’s ability to connect home with school. We encourage family participation and input into our program through our open-door policy, which allows parents to visit their children while at school.
OUR MISSION
To provide a nurturing, safe, and developmentally appropriate environment that promotes each child’s social, emotional and educational development. It is our goal to provide stimulating educational experiences and to foster trusting and lasting relationships with all children and their families.
