Our Objective

We believe a child’s first “school” experience should be a positive one. We strive to provide a safe, constructive and loving environment so that your child will enjoy coming to each school day. Our primary goal is to teach children socialization skills in small groups with plenty of teacher interaction. We maintain age-appropriate learning goals to encourage social development, motor development, and to develop verbal and cognitive skills. Children grow through daily classroom activities, playground interaction, music and creative movement programs and a science program for fours.

We have our best moments learning to play and work together creatively. The success of the program depends on the joint efforts of parents and staff. Active parent participation is encouraged through the committees described in this guide. Parental concerns and staff observations can be shared before and after class. Conferences with the teacher and/or director can be scheduled at any time , and we hold formal conferences for threes and fours parents in January.  For information, please call the Southport Congregational Church Preschool and Toddler Program, Barbara Terrell - Director, at 203-255-1312.
