Preschool
The preschool program at Pioneer Valley Christian School creates an environment that promotes and strengthens each child’s God-given abilities and fosters a student’s growth academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. At Pioneer Valley Christian School, we provide a warm, nurturing atmosphere in which children are free to learn the Truth, as defined through Scripture.
Students are welcomed each morning to an inviting and secure classroom that instructs them on how to play, interact, and share while emphasizing effective conflict resolution skills. The students learn how to follow classroom directions and routines which will equip them with important life skills and assist them in gaining confidence and self-assurance as they transition into kindergarten.
The preschool curriculum includes language arts, social studies, investigative science, dramatic and sensory play, art, fine and gross motor skill development, and thematic topics taught from a Biblical perspective. Christ-like character values are demonstrated and promoted in all areas of learning. The classroom also provides opportunity and fosters learning experiences and activities that reach and teach children at their individual levels of development,
The preschool is part of the Pioneer Valley Christian School educational system and, therefore, is exempt from licensure by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.
