"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them.” Sycamore Presbyterian Preschool (SPP) is an important part of Sycamore Presbyterian Church’s mission outreach to the community.

CURRICULUM

SPP’s child-centered curriculum provides developmentally appropriate activities for children of any developmental level. The daily hands-on activities cover all areas of interest and learning, including science, math, reading, writing, sensory exploration, music, exercise, block building, manipulatives, art, small & large group learning and free choice.

SPP’s curriculum encompasses the Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards created by the Ohio Department of Education, and assures that our curriculum leads directly into Ohio’s K-12 Standards. Our program is designed to provide a loving, caring Christian environment that is supportive, nurturing, and responsive to each child’s individual needs. We believe that the whole child is very important. Each child’s total development includes positive self-esteem, as well as spiritual, emotional, social, mental, and physical growth. It is important that your child be provided an opportunity to develop in each of these areas at his/her own pace.

STAFF/CHILD RATIO

The maximum number of children per class is kept at a minimum to allow daily small group and one-on-one learning. The staff/child ratios at SPP are as follows:

3 year old classes: 1:6 (maximum class size 12)

4 year old and PreK classes: 1:7 (maximum class size 14)

DROP-OFF SERVICE

At SPP we offer a convenient drive-through drop-off service each day upon arrival. During arrival, you may either walk your child to his/her classroom or drive up to the preschool door where a teacher is waiting to help your child exit the car and enter the building.
