Mission

The CHPC Preschool is a ministry of the church proudly serving the needs of the Community since 1956 by offering developmentally appropriate experiences, encouraging young children's perpetual curiosity, inexhaustible energy, enormous capacity for wonder and readiness to learn. In a safe environment planned and equipped especially for the young child, the preschool provides opportunities for all children to enlarge their spheres of relationships, their knowledge of their world and their ability to express themselves. Small classes ensure strong parent-teacher communication while trained educational leaders promote the social, emotional and academic growth of each unique child.

Our Goals

1.  To prepare children for success in their academic future through fun, educational, and creative play and classroom experiences.

2. To develop individuality by nurturing feelings of self-worth, security, and uniqueness in a loving, caring atmosphere.

3. To develop, nurture and promote sensitivity to others (children and adults) through socialization, curriculum and experiences.

4. To expand on a child’s awareness of their environment and surroundings.

5. To enhance and continually develop fine and large motor skills through healthy and physical activities.
