Playtown Preschool

"To help develop the child's social, emotional,
and intellectual growth.
To help each child build a positive self-image with a curriculum designed to foster motor and perceptual skills that are appropriate to each child's needs and developmental level.
To encourage Christian values in a way a child is able to understand and relate to, in everyday life. Examples of this include saying a general prayer before our snack, sharing with our friends, taking turns, and practicing good manners.
At Playtown we believe children learn best with activities and experiences that are "hands on" where children want to do it themselves.
We believe in the Chinese Proverb:
"Tell me - I forget.
Show me - I remember.
Let me do - I understand."
