Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
We encourage prospective families to come and visit our program. As Director, I believe that the loving way that the staff interacts with the children is one of the greatest selling points of our school. We truly love our children and feel lucky to be a part of their lives.
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The school's philosophy is developmental/play-based with some Christian elements (praying before snack, chapel once a month, religious significance of holidays). There is a very small class size of 12 with a teacher and an aide. The 3's teachers and aides are wonderful and have all been there for years. The school has a beautiful setting as the classrooms open out to the protected church courtyard with generous lawn, play structure, sand and water area, etc. It is such a nice atmosphere with wonderful families. It does not require volunteering except to provide snacks and lead cooking a couple of times a year. Everyone knows everyone else since the school is so small.
Parent #2
SPP provides a wonderful Christian environment that provides moral as well as emotional and educational experiences. It is the most well rounded preschool that I have encountered.
Parent #3
These teachers really do care! I received a call one evening from my daughter's teacher. My daughter had been crying and she wanted to make sure she was okay.

The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
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!
