School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Program planning and practices reflect that children are gifts from a loving God and learning is what children do. It is an active process. We believe that:
-- Each child is a child of God with unique patterns and timing of growth.
-- Children's play is fundamental to their development.
-- Children learn from each other.
-- Children's natural curiosity leads to many learning activities.
-- Children need an environment based on trust and structured freedom to be self-reliant and to use their own initiative.
Bethany Pre-School Offers:
-- well-trained early-childhood staff
-- low student-teacher ratios
-- developmentally appropriate curriculum in a nurturing Christian atmosphere
-- ten month preschool year."
Excerpted from the preschool's website
