MISSION STATEMENT To affect the lives of children and their families by providing a safe and quality education in a Christ-centered environment, introducing children to the Savior, Jesus Christ, and encouraging children to grow spiritually, socially, intellectually, and physically. Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 CURRICULUM PCN Preschool focuses on the development of the whole child. The daily schedule includes Bible stories, scriptures and songs, indoor and outdoor activities for gross motor development, and classroom activities that promote readiness for reading, language and math instruction during the primary years of formal education. Age-appropriate learning in music, art, science and math, language, drama, and fine motor manipulation play an integral part of the balanced program here at PCN. Three and four year old classes use the curriculum, Handwriting Without Tears. This is a wonderful program that focuses on teaching age appropriate skills using many types of manipulatives that the children enjoy. GOALS PCN Preschool is a non-profit ministry of the Pensacola First Church of the Nazarene. We are dedicated to providing affordable, quality care for children. Our goal is to be a valuable resource to the surrounding communities as an early childhood learning facility. We know that safe and healthy care of the child will support and strengthen family life by promoting cognitive, communicative, perceptual-motor, physical, social, and spiritual development of the child. Our Goals are to:
PHILOSOPHY With the Bible as our source, we believe that the children entrusted to us are precious in His sight, deserving the best of our abilities. We believe that each child is a unique individual of intrinsic worth created in the image of God. It is our belief that early childhood education should, above all else:
Our teachers, appreciating individual differences, attempt to create an environment in which each child is free to play, learn, experiment, and develop at his/her own rate with loving instruction. To download the 2009-2010 Parents Handbook and other Preschool Documents, click here.
