Our Philosophy...
The Aldersgate Pre-School will make a sincere effort to meet some important characteristic needs of the three and four year old child...
- The need for SECURITY
- The need for SUCCESS
- The need to KNOW
- The need to BELONG
- The need to CHANGE
- The need for AESTHETIC SATISFACTION
Additionally, an effort will be made to develop a sense of humor, which is a part of the whole child. Learning activities will be related to the child's needs assuring a richer, more meaningful program. We shall attempt to combine these needs in balanced proportions to such a degree as to whet the child's appetite for formal education. We will strive to meet these needs in a warm church related environment.
Our Objectives...
The general objectives of the program are to further the spiritual, emotional, social, mental
and physical development of the preschool child through activities that...
- Help children develop an understanding of life that is in harmony with Christian principles.
- Promote health, physical growth, and motor development.
- Increase independence in meeting and solving problems.
- Strengthen inner emotional controls.
- Allow the child to recognize reasonable limits and to influence growth towards self-discipline.
- Encourage self-linking, self-confidence, and self-understanding.
- Foster security with adults.
- Stimulate liking for children of different ages and backgrounds.
- Promote language skills and good listening and speech habits.
- Promote free self-expression in art, music, and dance.
- Broaden intellectual horizons.
- Help children to observe, investigate, seek and acquire information, and think critically.
