Dear Parents,

Welcome to our preschool program. We have made significant progress the past two years. We are pleased to announce that we are fully accredited by ACSI (Associated Christian Schools International). The Accreditation represents hard work on the part of both administration and the entire staff at the preschool. Our teachers have demonstrated that they are very experienced working in this environment and also qualified teachers in Early Childhood Education. Separate from the Accreditation process we have also earned the title of Demonstration Site for the Outdoor Classroom Project. Through God’s love, we have built an environment and program specifically designed for the preschool level that allows us to be a model for other preschool programs. We are very proud of this accomplishment. There are very few preschools in the city that can maintain the quality of staff and environment that we insist upon. Our children are our future, “Train a child in the way he should go…when he is old, he shall not turn from it” Proverbs 22:6. We are committed to find opportunity to continue to develop our space and grow in ways that will be uniquely ours.

Pasadena Christian School has the reputation of a place where families have found quality education, an administration committed to excellence, an involved parent group and a teaching staff that lovingly supports emotional growth and models Christian attitudes. Pasadena Christian Preschool maintains similar goals. Preschool education is unique and requires different skills than in elementary or junior high. We have hired teachers who understand the young child and skill development meaningful to this age group. A loving, nurturing staff modeling the “Fruits of the Spirit” (Gal 5:16-26), a specifically designed environment and curriculum that reflects current research in the area of early childhood development allows us to deliver the same quality you have grown to expect.

I feel the early years are an important time to develop the love of learning and positive feelings about school. Through exploration of activities meaningful to the individual child, learning becomes an adventure. When we allow children to choose from a variety of play opportunities while practicing how to make good decisions, they become more independent learners. When we allow children some choice about how long they would like to spend at an activity with respect to the class routine, they learn to manage their time. Play is the all-important vehicle, which helps young children internalize attitudes and patterns that make learning a joy.

Sincerely,

Linda Taylor-Bell
Preschool Director
