Our Goal

Our goal is to provide a program for preschool children ages two through five, and their parents, that offers the highest caliber of developmentally appropriate pre-school education and is consistent with the Christian teachings of the First Presbyterian Church of Burlingame.

Parent Participation

Parent Participation is vital to our nursery school program. Parents sharing their knowledge of the child, and teachers sharing their knowledge of how children grow and learn foster a
cooperative responsibility for nurturing the child in a period when growth is rapid.  Parents are required to participate in and observe the nursery school class approximately seven times a year in the programs for 3- and 4-year-olds and three times a month in the 2-year-old class. Pre-enrollment conferences are held for all parents. In addition, mid-year conferences for 3- and 4-year-old-class parents are scheduled between parents and a teacher each school year. Other conferences may be held upon request by parent, teacher, or director.

Additional opportunities for parent involvement are offered through meetings, parenting education, and discussion groups. Our hope is that each child will grow and mature to his or her potential in all areas: emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually.
