St. Peter Preschool

- Philosophy & Goals
  
  At St. Peter Preschool we believe:
  
  God, Creator of all life, calls us to provide a loving, nurturing environment for young children. Therefore, we strive to create a learning environment where the child interacts with other children and adults in an atmosphere of Christian respect, concern and cooperation.
  
  We believe:
  
  The family initially develops the values and attitudes whereby a young child knows God, accepts himself/herself, relates to others and responds reverently toward the environment. Therefore, we strive to collaborate with parents to provide a quality Catholic experience for learning, loving and Christian living.
  
  We believe:
  
  Learning experience and play activities encourage and promote spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical growth and development. Therefore, we establish a preschool program that promotes the desire to learn in solitude and with others about God, about the world, about others and about themselves.
  
  The child should:
  
  1.Become aware of the fact that he/she is a child of God and will grow in God's love.
  2.Develop a positive self-image and acknowledge his/her self-worth.
  3.Develop basic social skills.
  4.Increase independence.
  5.Develop a trust in adults other than his/her parents.
  6.Enjoy being part of a group and accept the need to share and cooperate.
  7.Respect the rights of others and defend his/her own rights.
  8.Develop the desire to learn.
