Second Presbyterian Eclc
Preschool in Kansas City, MO 64112
Our program began in 1971 as a Parents’ Day Out and has evolved into an early childhood program that is a developmentally appropriate, child centered curriculum which assists in a child’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth. We are open to all children and provide a variety of choices for families. We believe that each child is unique, should be treated with respect, and valued as a child. We will respect the needs of each child in the context of their family. We understand that families are the first and most important teachers in a child’s life. We will strive through a developmentally appropriate curriculum and a Christian environment, to assist in a child’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth. Teachers understand that they are role models and that a trusting relationship is vital to a child’s healthy development

We believe that children learn through their interactions with the environment, peers and teachers. Our curriculum is play based with the understanding that children have the right to investigate, explore, communicate and create. Teachers respect children’s interest, ideas and individual development. Teachers respect children’s interest, ideas and individual development. Classrooms are designed to encourage the children’s explorations, to help them develop independently and to encourage learning in a social setting.
Infants and toddlers will receive warm, responsive and consistent care, which will foster social, emotional, and cognitive development. The development of trust between the teacher and child is crucial to the well being of the child.
Preschoolers will actively explore in centers that encourage emergent literacy and math skills. Block play, dramatic play, music, stories and art experiences will be part of daily routines. Weather permitting, outdoor play will be available each day.
