About Us

Our Philosophy

Pilgrim Preschool operates under three basic principles for children and their families.

PRINCIPLE ONE

A positive self-image is a vital element for a child's self-growth.


Self Confidence

We feel it is most important for a child to discover who he/she is and to feel self-confident and assured in his/her world.

Learning Styles

We combine many methods of learning to facilitate growth in a fun way for children. Our classroom activities, policies, schedules, and discipline have been established with this principle in focus.

Self Paced

Each child is helped to develop his/her own capabilities at his/her own rate of progress. This is done through a wide variety of experiences and activities offered.

Promote Growth

Our curriculum is planned to facilitate child growth in a well-rounded environment that encourages social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional growth.

PRINCIPLE TWO

Play is essential to children's learning and a contributing factor in their growth.


Play is... 

Play is the child's work; how he/she experiences life.

Play is Natural

Our teachers utilize the children's natural learning style when they incorporate play into each day.

Helps Make Sense

Play helps children put all of their experiences together to make sense of objects, events, and the way they are related.

Play to Learn

Children imitate the real world of adults through the element of play. Because play is natural and fun, it is self-rewarding. Children enjoy playing to learn.

PRINCIPLE THREE

An open relationship    between family and school is important to meeting the needs of a child


Cooperation

Home and school life must work together as a partnership for the best interest of the child.

Interconnection

The experiences, moods, behaviors, that affect children at home, will in turn, affect their daily learning experience, mood, or behavior at school. Open communication between home and school is vital.

Communication

Parents are encouraged to contact the school and/or teacher concerning any circumstances at home that may affect the child's behavior at school. Monthly newsletters, informal conversations, and yearly parent/teacher conferences are important means of communication between school and home.

Our History

Pilgrim Preschool is owned and operated by the Pilgrim United Church of Christ. As a service to the community, the members of Pilgrim Church initiated the preschool program in 1957.

The school began with two classrooms and a vision for the future. The congregation believes that the nurturing of children and families is vital to the future of our community and the world. The congregation remains steadfast in that belief.

Today, that vision and dedication continues with seven classrooms, fifteen staff members, a Board of Governors, and over 270 children and their families.

The preschool program is open to all families regardless of race, religion, or national origin. The Board of Governors and the Pilgrim Preschool Director meet regularly to ensure that the preschool objectives are being met.
