Parents' Comments
Parent #1
We have been at 3 different preschools and have found nothing that remotely compares to the quality instruction for our child, friendship among parents, or concern for our whole family's well being by the teacher. It has a truly wonderful family feeling and the curriculum taught by the school is opening our child's eyes to the world in ways I couldn't imagine at so young an age. We are truly blessed to call BPC home.

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
