ABOUT US
Our Philosophy
The purpose of Kirk House Preschool is to provide young children with a positive school experience in a warm and supportive Christian environment.
The purpose of Kirk House Preschool is to provide young children with a positive school experience in a warm and supportive Christian environment. It is our belief that play is the most important avenue to learning because it actively involves the child in the learning process and enables the child to experience concepts first hand. We stimulate the child’s innate desire to learn by providing age appropriate “hands on” experiences for the development of the whole child: emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and spiritual. By providing a large variety of well-rounded learning opportunities in an environment in which the child feels safe and secure to investigate without criticism, the child will make steps in fulfilling his or her own potential. We keep our staff to child ratio at 1 adult to 6 students, so children will get a response when they seek comfort, information, or assistance. Quick responses from adults makes children feel respected and valued.
