Long Hill Christian Preschool
Impressions & Expressions
The impressions and experiences of your child’s preschool years
will, to a large extent, determine what he or she will become.
An educator once asked a group of parents: “If you want to write
your name in cement, wouldn’t you do it before it hardens?” Long
Hill Christian Pre-School wants to partner with you creating something
wholesome and wonderful in the life of your child, while their still
young and their spirit is most pliable.
Here, children are encouraged to discover, create, and experience the
order and wonder of God’s world.
Play is a crucial part of our school. Play is how children learn! Through
imaginative play (with a police hat, a doll house, or puppets), children
discover things about themselves. Play helps a child understand what
they see and experience in the real world.
As children grow, their understanding of the world grows. We talk,
we look at pictures, we hear stories, we sing songs, and we take trips.
We learn about animals, people, and places in the world, jobs grown-ups
do and different ways to get around.
Most importantly, we learn how to get along with others. With tender
guidance, children learn skills to last a lifetime in loving and respecting
one another.
We Learn Together
We learn values, such as honesty, friendship, and self-esteem, both
individually and in groups. We rejoice in music together in our classrooms
and with our music teacher. We delight in learning the alphabet and
numbers. Through storytelling, role playing, and games, teachers bring
home lessons, ranging from Bible stories to fire safety! Some of
our guest
visitors include; police, firemen, dentist, and a traveling farm where
children experience baby animals up close and personal.
Teacher the Key
It is not surprising that the US Government publication, “How
to Choose a Nursery School,” underscores that the single most
important factor in your child’s pre-school experience is your
child’s teacher. This is why Long Hill Christian Preschool teachers
are chosen, not only for their teaching qualifications, but also for
their compassion and gentle nature. Teachers continue their education
by attending seminars, conferences, CPR and first aid training and
college courses.
A Balance of Emphasis
Long Hill Christian Preschool provides for the spiritual, as well as
the physical, emotional and social needs of children. Staff members
have a vital, personal faith in God, and seek to express that faith
in all aspects of their relationships.
In an effort to encourage teachers and students to reach their full
potential, we maintain a small teacher-child ratio. Usually no more
that one-to-eight.
Some of the things your child will learn from these dedicated teachers
are:God made me, I am special, God Loves me, God talks to us in His
book the Bible, and tells us to obey our parents, to be kind to others,
and to be glad for all things He has made. Bible stories and other
themes are included in our circle time. We learn that we can talk to
God – and He listens!
