March Newsletter

The children will be working on rhyming this month.  This is a good time to read rhyming books with your child.  We are continuing our work on letter recognition.  This is an important first step to future reading and writing skills.  Please continue to help your child practice printing his/her name.  Remember to use a capital for the first letter and lower case for the remaining letters (ex. Nick).

Our Program and Mission

St. Peter's United Church of Christ is dedicated to providing...

• the best possible introduction for children to the world of learning.
• a bright, cheerful place where children can come together to develop their skills, make friends, and learn by having fun with a variety of activities.

Our most important component is people:

• teachers, who are friendly and highly skilled in meeting the needs of preschool children;
• parents, whose active involvement is highly encouraged;
• and, paramount, the children.

Our Goals

To foster, encourage and instill in children:

• a joy of learning
• the wonder of discovery
• a love for God and his creation

We believe in children -- little ones, big ones, chubby ones, and thin ones.  There is faith in their eyes, love in their touch, hope in their attitude.  Children -- the fragile dream of yesterday, life's radiant reality today, and the vibrant stuff of tomorrow.
