PRESCHOOL
OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
The preschool program at Pioneer Valley Christian Academy seeks to create a warm, nurturing atmosphere in which children are free to learn the Truth, as defined through Scripture. Students are welcomed each morning to a 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 adhere to routines which will equip them with important life skills and assist them in building confidence and self-assurance as they transition into kindergarten.
At the end of the day, my husband and I feel blessed knowing our daughter is in good hands. The morals and values she is being taught at home are reinforced with the backing of God’s word during the school day.
