Peninsula Covenant Preschool admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities in our school.

Philosophy
We believe that God creates children with unique gifts and abilities. We take joy in providing an atmosphere of warmth and love where each child can grow at their own pace and take the next steps in their development. We provide activities that foster growth in the areas of social, emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual development. Children learn as they are exposed to "hands on" experiences and a variety of play activities. In the safety of respectful relationships, children are free to grow.

Pre-K Program
Our Pre-K class is designed for children who turn 5 years old by December 2nd and who need more time to mature before starting Kindergarten. The class is made up of one teacher and 12 children. Through the program children are exposed to academic skills and social skills. These are learned through direct instruction, written practice and play activities. There is a balance of teacher initiated activities and free choice activities for the children. The curriculum is creative with "hands on" experiences.

Parent Involvement
During October, parents begin "parent participation." This is a time for parents to come to school and spend the morning with their child. It is our hope that parents will enjoy this opportunity to be with their child and observe his/her interactions at school. Each MWF parent and Pre-K parent will be asked to participate three times during the year. Each Tu/Th parent will be asked to participate two times during the year. Parents are welcome to visit more often.

Hours
All Sessions are from 9:00 to 11:30.

Lunch Bunch
Children attending our MWF and Pre-K classes are invited to join the Lunch Bunch each day from 11:30 to 12:30. Sign-ups are done month to month and drop-ins are welcome if space is available. There is an additional fee for the Lunch Bunch.
