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.
