Children are encouraged to make individual choices and actively explore in this creative atmosphere. The Preschool program is designed for children ages six weeks through five years of age and focuses on the child's social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual aspects of development. Every child is unique, and is accepted as such in order to foster his or her individuality. Our highly qualified staff is trained to provide the proper foundations for learning and will continue to explore new developments in the field of childcare.
The teaching of a cognitive oriented curriculum (C. O. C.) program will challenge the minds of our children while stimulating all aspects of growth and development. The child staff ratios we are using are in compliance with state regulations and are: children six weeks through one year old 1:4, one to two years old 1:8, two and a half through four-years old 1:10, and children five and older 1:16. The mission of Simon Says Early Childhood Center is to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to each member of our faith community through Scripture which presents the good news in a nurturing, positive, learning environment according to the example of Christ. The program enriches the Christian lives of both the children and their parents, while also creating more “Family Time” due to our wide variety of unique services.
Our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd focuses on building a relationship with God through working in a quiet atrium using tangible centers explaining Jesus' journey and exploring scripture. The staff at " Simon Says " is here to facilitate parent education which is the key to success in your child's life. "You and your child are the most important ingredients for our success! " Once again, on behalf of the staff of " Simon Says " Early Childhood Center, I welcome you and look forward to being a part of the growth of this program and your child's development. Sincerely, Michele Snyder, Director
