We welcome you and hope you will take a few minutes to take a peek around our site. Also, visit us on Facebook! Our Fall 2011/2012 Curriculum Theme Units are posted on the site and also went home in your child's folder.
Our school philosophy is "play with a purpose." Our students play and learn through small and whole group activities, centers, songs, creative stations, and more.  We offer learning pods with specialist teachers.  Our children get to partcipate in fun engaging activities in a special Phonics pod, Science/Social Studies pod, and a Math Pod each day.  
 
 

September’s Service Project:  Painted potted plant for Country Side Village Nursing Home

Every month we will have a different service project to teach our friends that everyone can make a difference.  When our children learn from an early age that God calls us to help others, we truly raise up compassionate children that will impact this world for the glory of God. Stay tuned for October’s Service Project!  This painting was done during our family unit Artists’ Canvas Class.

October's Service Project:  Collecting Can Goods for S.H.I.N.E.

Wow!  What a great group of preschoolers we have, we collected over 50 can goods to send to S.H.I.N.E. (serving hungry in nearby Easley).  The food will go directly to S.H.I.N.E.'s soup kitchen and feed people in our community.  Our children did have lots of fun with collecting the can goods.  We had a Clemson/USC contest, and Clemson won with the most cans collected.  Most importantly, our community won through the generosity of our preschool family! 

November's Service Project

Through our generous families we were able to put shoes on over 22 needy children's feet at Mary's House.  We are thankful for our generous families that make our preschool more than a preschool.  We are so excited and blessed to be able to share all the blessings God has given us to those in need.

December's Service Project

We collected stuffed animals to give to the police department for children in crisis.  The children enjoyed bringing in these stuffed animals to decorate our Christmas tree. 

January's Service Project

We continued in collecting stuffed animals to give to children in crisis.  This time we collected for the local fire department. 

 February's Service Project
We partnered with His Radio and decorated Valentine Cards to send to children in Hospitals.  We made 62 cards for children to brighten their spirits and their day.
 
March's Service Project
We collected loose change to send to the March of Dimes to support premature babies.  Many of our preschoolers were premature babies themselves!  Stay tuned to see how much money we raised.  Together we can make a difference.
