PROGRAM

Pasadena Christian Preschool serves children from 2 years through 5 years. We structure our program to honor families by providing services that support community needs while maintaining a reasonable budget that covers a new design specific building, a well-trained staff, and extensive curriculum materials with adult ratios well above licensing standards. Some limitations of options reflect a desire to operate the best quality program for a reasonable value while our enrollment is still growing.

CHILDREN DO NOT NEED TO BE TOILET TRAINED!

SCHOOL BREAKS

To provide a quality program like ours, it is important to have days in our school calendar dedicated to teacher training and in-service, maintenance repairs, clean up and preparation. Although few breaks compared to some programs, the preschool will be closed for school breaks throughout the year. At the beginning of the school year, you will receive a calendar of these dates.

Holidays (school closed) will always include: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Good Friday, and Memorial Day. No credit is given for regularly scheduled school holidays and break periods. This is computed as part of the tuition rate..

NON-PROFIT PRESCHOOL

Pasadena Christian Preschool strives to be totally self-supporting. This program is a quality non-profit Christian Preschool that is neither supported by a church or by any affiliate group. Our program and tuition rates reflect the new design and the unique structure we provide. We have worked at keeping our rates comparable to other programs that offer the detailed curriculum and quality or care we have planned. Proudly, we can say that our rates are only slightly higher than the city average.
