Philosophy
Calvary Chapel Preschool is an inseparable part of the ministries of Calvary Chapel of Santa Maria.
The policies of the preschool are determined by the Director along with the preschool Board of Directors.
It is our desire to partner with you in training the children socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually in the knowledge of God's Word.
A child must feel secure in his classroom environment in order to reach a level of development. Therefore, it is our goal at Calvary Chapel Preschool to establish a safe, secure and fun environment that fosters an enthusiasm for learning.
Mission Statement
Jesus said "Let the little children come to Me and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 19:14)." Our central purpose as a Christian school is to lead children to Christ and instruct them in godliness.
Staff
Each member of our staff is qualified and competent to work with children, but more importantly, the staff is dedicated to our Lord. Through His Word He tells us, "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Snacks
We provide two nutritious snacks a day, one in the morning at 9:15am and a second one about 3:00pm. Weekly menus are posted. Each snack consists of two food groups.
Lunch A nutritious, balanced lunch of "ready to eat" foods is to be brought from home. Please: No foods to be microwave, no candy or sodas. The school will provide milk for lunch.
Curriculum Calvary Chapel Preschool attempts to prepare children for entrance into the ABeka Kindergarten program and curriculum. However, this would well prepare a child for any kindergarten program and curriculum. We believe we have coordinated and developed an excellent system for teaching academic basics through Christian principles to your child.
