A Ministry of the Christian Life Center
OUR MISSION
l
Mission:
Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:37-39).
Philosophy: Welcome to the New London Christian Preschool! Children are the greatest gift that God has given us. We are honored to have the opportunity to grow and learn here with us. We do our utmost to be a safe and nurturing environment. For many of your children this is their first school experience, and we strive to make it a fun and memorable one where the children learn about the world around them, most importantly about the God who created them and loves them.
Our Vision: New London Christian Preschool is a ministry of the Christian Life Center. We work very hard to be a place where kids are active participants in learning about the God who loves them and where they interact and explore the world He created.
Our Core Values:
Value #1 New London Christian Preschool is Christ-centered. We foster experiences that allow children to discover the order and beauty of God’s world and to learn about God’s plan for us in His inspired word, the Bible.
.
Value #2 New London Christian Preschool is Engaging. We capture the minds and hearts of kids through all five senses (and fun!). Our focus, through using the Creative Curriculum, is purposeful play. We believe that through focused playful experiences, young children master skills, solve problems, discover new concepts, and learn how to get along with others. Play is a child’s work, and we believe that the learning experience through play is essential.
Value #3 New London Christian Preschool is Accepting. We do not discriminate based on race, color, national or ethnic origin in admission policies or tuition assistance. Children from any religious, nationality or racial backgrounds are welcome at our preschool.
Value #4 New London Christian Preschool is Creative. We teach creatively, with learning as the goal. Learning is facilitated to allow children to explore their environment and interact with their peers. Creativity creates a unique balance between all areas of development, while promoting socialization and self-esteem.
Value #5 New London Christian Preschool Prioritizes Safety. We provide an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for children. Although we are exempt from state licensing status, we do voluntarily try our best to comply with all state requirements and commit to on-going monitoring for compliance.
