School Philosophy & Day in the Life
School Philosophy and Mission
The Weedkday Early Education Program is an extension of ministry to families by the Schertz First Baptist Church. To effectively work toward the common purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission, we commit to the following goals: to provide a nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment that encourages each child to develop mentally, physically, spiritually, socially and emotionally and to provide a ministry to families and a witness of Christ and His church.
Our goal is to provide a positive first school experience. We want all our children to be successful. We believe in working on the important basics for any education program such as listening, following directions, sharing, sitting for appropriate times at circle, using words to express themselves, and learning social skills to make friends and have successful play experiences.

Director's and Parents' Comments
Director's Comments
We ask that the parent bring the child to school give him/her a reassuring hug and say that you love him/her and will return when school is over and then leave the child and go home. If the child cannot adapt, we will call the parent to return.
we provide a stop & drop by day where children can meet the teacher, play in the classroom, and have one-on-one interaction with the teacher.
Discipline, Health and Safety
Overview
Director's Description of Approach Toward Discipline
Discipline must be: Individualized and consistent for each child; appropriate to the child's level of understanding; directed toward teaching the child acceptable behavior and self-control and administered only by the teacher.
Director's Response to a Sample Discipline Scenario
Description of how teachers handle the following scenario: Child A and Child B are good friends and usually play together. One day, Child A decides to play with Child C and tells Child B, 'I don't want to play with you today. I'm playing with Child C instead.'
We are all friends at preschool and it is o.k. to play with different children but we can still let others join us.Let's all play together. It's more fun that way.
