A nonprofit organization Kinderkirk Nursery School has been a program of the First Presbyterian Church in Livermore for over 40 years. Reflecting the Church’s concern for the family needs of this community we offer a non-religious program in a Christian atmosphere open to children of Church-members and the community at large without regard for race religion or gender. Through a warm accepting climate and a rich program we hope to give children a natural step from home to school.
We believe that each child needs a loving caring enriched environment that allows for individual uniqueness. Opportunities to make decisions and exercise free choice are important to a child’s developing independence and self-esteem. Adults can assist in the healthy development of a child by encouraging the child’s natural curiosity and creativityreasing the child’s understanding and appreciation of others and nurturing the skills necessary for successful communication problem solving and competence in many areas.
Our approach to discipline is on an individual basis. We believe that the goal of discipline is not to punish children but to help them develop the self-control to be responsible for their behavior to recognize what is appropriate behavior and to plan and control their own behavior. We also recognize our responsibilities as teachers to model appropriate behavior and to maintain a safe respectful and accepting environment for everyone.
