Holy Cross Preschool will develop and maintain
an environment for positive learning experiences which will encourage children to
grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively within an Orthodox
Christian context.
Recognizing that a preschool
experience is the child’s first step into the world beyond the family, we
strive to be accepting of the child as a unique individual, aware of individual
emotional and educational needs, loving and supportive. Within this context, it is our goal to
provide challenging new experiences, opportunities to build relationships with
other children and adults, and a rich variety of activities leading to mastery
of appropriate skills and overall school readiness. At the Holy Cross Preschool, it is our
aim to provide the environment for optimal growth within a developmentally
appropriate framework. We are
committed to allowing each child the opportunity to learn at their own level
and to experience success as mastery advances. It is our role to create the finest
environment in which that can happen.
Any child will be admitted to Holy Cross
Preschool if he or she is ready for and will benefit from our program provided
they are fully potty-trained.
All children will be accepted regardless of
race, nationality, or creed.
Families do not need to be registered members of the Holy Cross Church
Parish.
Admission is based on availability with
preference given to continuing students, siblings, alumni families,
Our curriculum is play-based
and developmentally oriented so that each child can meet his or her full
potential socially, emotionally, academically, and physically in a safe and
caring environment. The emphasis is
on: social/emotional development,
creative activities, kindergarten readiness, and development of the whole
child.
The children are actively involved in learning
at their own pace in a neat, organized classroom. They follow a daily routine guided by a
knowledgeable and nurturing staff.
Our teachers are professionals who are dedicated, caring, and trained in
Early Childhood Education and Development.
At all times, there will be a person trained in CPR and First Aid at the
preschool. The teachers are
required to participate in continuing education classes in order to remain
alert to the ever-changing needs of families and the current findings of Early
Childhood research.
