Salisbury Presbyterian Preschool was organized and has been operated by
the Salisbury Presbyterian Church since it began in August 1984.
Our Preschool is a very important part of our total ministry.
"Train a Child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
THE SPC PRESCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
Salisbury Preschool’s philosophy is based on developmentally appropriate practices, along with current knowledge and research in the field of early childhood development. Our goal is to provide a high quality program that will promote each child’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual well being. In addition, the program is designed to be Christian in its approach. Christian values and principles are shared daily through learning activities.
Children – We provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes learning across all developmental disciplines. We provide a well structured play-based environment that is designed to promote not only cognitive development but also give children an opportunity to learn to deal with their emotions, interact with others, solve conflicts, and develop their imagination and creativity.
Teachers- Teachers and assistant teachers are selected on the basis of their educational backgrounds as well as their personality, love for children, and ability to work effectively with children individually, as well as in groups. Each staff member is carefully screened and exhibits the following: good character and reputation, excellent communication skills in working with preschoolers and their families, and current knowledge of the developmental needs of young children.
Families – Our goal is to develop a positive relationship with every family and to work together with each family in order to support each child’s development and learning. In order to meet this goal we begin each school year with home visits. In late August each child is visited by his/her teacher. Throughout the school year there are numerous ways for parents to participate in the classroom including; helping with class parties, field trips, and special classroom activities (i.e. cooking, art, or reading). In addition each student’s progress is reported to the parents several times throughout the year, including through parent/teacher conferences in the spring.
