      OVERVIEW INFORMATION PACKET

OLD PROVIDENCE PRESCHOOL

A Ministry of Old Providence ARP Church

 

 

For greater detail on the Preschool and its policies, please visit the church web page at oldprovidencechurch.org and click on the Preschool link.

 

The Purpose: In 1984 the Old Providence Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, as a part of its ministry to its members and to the community, established The Old Providence Preschool. The purpose of the Preschool is to provide a learning experience for children in a Christian environment in order to help prepare them for their enrollment in the formal education system. The Old Providence Preschool Committee operates this ministry under the authority and supervision of the Session of Old Providence Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. At a recent meeting, the Session renewed their commitment to continuing the Christian Preschool Ministry at Old Providence Church.  


The Facilities: The Preschool uses the facilities and grounds of Old Providence Church in the Spottswood Community of Augusta County, Virginia. Our classroom is located on the main level of Providence Hall, the educational and fellowship building of Old Providence. The playground area and parking lot are used for outdoor activities.


The Program: The Preschool provides classes for three and four-year-old students. The Four-Year-old Class meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 am until 12:00 Noon. The Three-Year-Old Class meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 am until 12:00 Noon. A maximum of 10 students will be enrolled in the Four-Year-Old Class and a maximum of 10 students will be enrolled in the Three-Year-Old class. Classroom learning activities include the teaching of Biblical truths; academic exercises involving the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, etc.; the teaching of life awareness skills such as the calendar, weather, etc.; practice in social and classroom skills; and opportunities for free and directed play.

 

Admission: When you complete an application for enrollment in the Preschool Program, you are enrolling your child for the full school year. The Preschool builds its plans for the year and its budget on your child’s participation from September through May. If you accept an enrollment offer from the Preschool, you commit your child to regular attendance, and yourself to meet the financial obligations of the yearly tuition.

                      normal classroom activities. If your child has significant

                      disabilities, the Preschool will work with you to

                      determine if your child can successfully deal with the

                      classroom environment. The Preschool is limited by its

                      facilities, and by the training and size of its staff.
