| STATEMENT OF FAITH |
|
We are a full day program
incorporating all areas fundamental to
children’s overall development (social, emotional, spiritual,
cognitive, physical) to prepare them for their future success. We
offer part-time programs of 2, 3 or 4 set days per week. We also
offer full-time enrollment. |
|
We recognize that children develop
individually and respect different learning styles. To facilitate
their healthy development we incorporate a variety of activities and
learning experiences to stimulate appropriate learning and growth in
all areas. |
|
Our academic program includes hands-on
experiences as well as proven curriculum materials from ABECA. |
| Our classes
are determined by age |
|
2 ½ - 3 years |
Beginners
(must be 2 ½ and potty trained to enter) |
| 3 - 4
years |
Preschool
(turning 4 by September of the following year) |
| 4 - 5 years |
Pre-kindergarten (turning 5 by September of the following year) |
|
Each age level prepares the children
for the next stage. Children are very well-prepared for
Kindergarten when they graduate from the Pre-Kindergarten class. |
|
WE BELIEVE |
In
one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things eternally existent in
three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Dueteronomy 6:4, Mark
12:29)
|
In the virgin birth of Christ, His vicarious
death, bodily resurrection and ascension. Isaiah 7:14, Romans 8:34,
Acts 1:9-10)
|
In
the divine inspiration of the Bible, our all sufficient rule of
faith and conduct.
(11
Timothy 3:15-17)
|
In
the necessity of the rebirth of man and in his consequent salvation
from spiritual death and hell, through repentance as acceptance of
Jesus Christ as Savior. (John 3:1-7, 16-18; 1 John 5:11-12)
|
In the observable evidence of the new birth, the
inward evidence being the direct witness of the Holy Spirit and the
outward evidence being a life of holiness and love of God and man.
Romans 8:16, 1 Peter 1:15-16, Matthew 22:36-40)
|
In
Christian Baptism. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38)
|
In the resurrection of the dead, that the bodies
of both the just and the unjust shall be raised to live and united
with their spirits - “They that have done good to the resurrection
of life; and they that have done evil to the resurrection of
damnation.” (Matthew 25:31-46, John 14:1-3, Acts 1:9-11, Revelation
22:7-20)
|
In the second coming to earth of the Lord Jesus
Christ, who will receive all believers unto himself, both alive and
dead, so that we shall be with the Lord forever. (Matthew 25:31-46,
John 14:1-3, Acts 1:9-11, Revelation 22:7-20)

TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS |
| The teachers and assistants of Community
Christian Preschool and Day Care Center are experienced, qualified
and dedicated to the needs of your child. All applicants must have a
strong desire to work with young children and be committed to the
goals of the school. Our teachers are mature, well trained and
loving. The state of Washington requires all individuals working
with young children obtain basic training in Child Development and
Education, and have CPR/First Aid Training, and a cleared background
check. Our teachers minimally meet those requirements and in most
cases exceed them. Ongoing training provides our teachers with
additional tools to nurture and teach children. Our staff turn-over
is low (based on standards of the field) which helps ensure
consistency for the children. |

|
RATIO OF TEACHERS TO CHILDREN |
| Research and our experience confirms
that a small overall class size is best for children. Our class
ratios are one teacher per ten children. This provides an
appropriate level of stimulation, and more opportunities for
children to bond with the teacher and other children in the class. |
|
FIELD TRIPS |
| We take field trips into the community
to promote your child’s growth and development. We exercise many
safety measures including the use of appropriate car seats and basic
background checks on chaperones attending. |
|
DISCIPLINE POLICY |
|
It is very important for children’s school and life success to learn
and practice appropriate behaviors. Our goal is to teach children
to: |
-
Make appropriate behavioral choices, and to
-
Understand there are
consequences for behavior choices
-
Experience the
rewards that come from making appropriate choices
|
|
A detailed description of our Discipline Policy and methods of
guiding children can be obtained from the preschool director. |
|
At no time will Corporal Punishment (which is prohibited both by
law, and our policy) be used. At no time will a child be belittled
or intentionally humiliated.
|
|
SECURITY |
|
CCA is a secured facility. An assigned security card is required to
access the preschool building. Children are released only to parents
and authorized individuals listed on the child’s records. Positive
photo identification is required. |
