The Developmental Preschool program  is built around a play curriculum
that focuses on the child as an active participant  in the learning process,
The teachers  act as facilitators  of this process, designing a safe and
developmentally  appropriate classroom environment  to help  the
children develop  as unique individuals at their own pace. The children
are treated sensitively and respectfully  as they strive  to master difficult
developmental  tasks, such as separation, control,  independence  and
conflict resolution. Parents are supported and encouraged  to be active
partners  in the preschool program.

Serving 3 to 5 year old children in two separate classrooms,  the
preschool program is half day, Monday  through Thursday with morning
and afternoon sessions available.  The preschool operates on a school
year calendar September through May. Both classrooms are staffed with
2 teachers with no more  than 14 children  in each half-day group.
Teachers have college degrees  in Early Childhood  or Child Development.

Our Developmental Preschool program  is licensed by the Department of
Public Welfare, accredited by the National Association  for the Education
of Young Children  (NAEYC), and a Pennsylvania  Keystone Star 4 Facility.
