“We feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful, God centered, family program to care for our son. Over the past 4 years, it has been amazing to watch our son learn and grow through the nurturing care of The Play School at Community Presbyterian Church. The dedicated staff, combined with fun and educational / play based classroom structure, has truly made a positive impact on our family.

The Day School
“Christians cannot develop a Christian view of education by accepting the usual aims and views of our society and then adding a ‘Christian message’ or interpretation. No, we start from a different basis. We have another world view - another people view.”
The Day School (kindergarten & 1st grade) follows the philosophy of Charlotte Mason. We offer a wide educational feast rooted in Scripture, employing rich literature, regular contact with nature, and the other educational delights that make up a True Education.

More about Our Program
-
The mission of the The Play School at Community Presbyterian Church is first and foremost to demonstrate the great love that God has for His people by caring for His children. We believe that God created us all in His image, and because of this, we are called to reflect who He is and share what He has done with those He places in our care. We desire to meet families where they are in their stage of parenthood to provide a safe environment where children can learn through play as we seek to guide them through physical, social, spiritual, and academic developmental milestones for the glory of God. We seek to partner with each family to offer opportunities to foster community, spiritual growth, support, and encouragement as they bear the joys, sorrows, and burdens of parenthood.
-
Our vision is to walk alongside the families we serve with the intention of offering encouragement and support by training their children to navigate this world through a Gospel-centered lens. We believe that God made us and all things for His own glory. This is the foundation on which we base our every action and interaction.
-
Our curriculum promotes children’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth through Bible stories, music, crafts, playtime, chapel, and classroom instruction. All Bible lessons are taught from a Reformed perspective, reflecting our beliefs at Community Presbyterian Church. Instruction is given according to age and developmental levels. Each class is under the direction of experienced and loving teachers who undergo training and are each equipped with their own unique gifts and strengths.
The curriculum we use at The Play School at Community Presbyterian Church is Busy Hands and Minds by Michele Dillon, Teaching 2’s and 3’s by Sheryl Cooper, and A Year of Playing Skillfully. The focus of these resources is founded upon the belief that young children learn best through play-based educational opportunities.
-
Due to lack of qualified personnel, our program is not designed or staffed for children with significant social, behavioral, or mental problems as well as special needs or certain learning disabilities. We will consider your child with moderate special needs on a case-by-case basis. The Play School at Community Presbyterian Church does not discriminate against race, color, or national origin.
