About Us
Calvary Preschool is a non-profit organization licensed by the State of California, Department of Social Services, and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
OUR HISTORY- 50 years of Caring for Children
Calvary Presbyterian Church has sponsored Calvary Preschool since the preschool was established in 1959. The church considers the preschool to be an outreach of support to its members and to the community. It is not the intention of the preschool to instruct the children in any particular religious doctrine, but to share with them the experience of what it means to be a child of God through fellowship and peacefully living in the greater community of humanity. Neither religious doctrine or partisan politics are taught in the classroom.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Calvary Preschool, we seek to provide a child-centered integrated curriculum where a child may grow to be well-rounded - intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. We view loving interactions with others and play as the primary means for healthy development in young children. Our foremost goal is to provide a preschool experience that prepares children for future success, both in school and in life, by showing them how to solve problems, get along with others and be competent and responsible individuals.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The Calvary Preschool staff is dedicated to providing children with a safe, nurturing environment that allows each individual child to embrace diversity and grow socially, emotionally, creatively and intellectually at their own pace.
