Director's Corner
Valley Christian Preschool is a joyful ministry
of Valley Community Presbyterian Church and a celebrated resource within our
community. We embrace childhood by encouraging each child to discover the
world through hands-on learning and the richness of open-ended play. This
creates a solid foundation for their formal education and a love of learning
in the years to come. In an atmosphere of love and acceptance modeled by
God's unconditional love, the children develop self-esteem as well as
confidence in their place in the group. Families are supported by our
philosophy of sharing God's love, resulting in a community where we work
together to create a wonderful place for children to thrive.
The Valley Christian Preschool
program provides a safe, healthy, nurturing environment for

and the inherent value of each individual as a child of God as well

Waiting Lists As a ministry of Valley Community Presbyterian Church, Valley Christian Preschool is called to provide a quality preschool which is available to our neighborhood and community. To honor this purpose Valley Christian Preschool strives to fill its classes in a fair and timely manner. We have found that a waiting list provides the most equal opportunity for everyone to be a part of our school. It is also a valuable tool for future planning. Many families may be unaware of the necessity to place younger children on our waiting lists for the future. If you have a sibling you want to enroll in a future class it is important you place him/her on the sibling waiting list by completing the appropriate area on your registration form or contacting the director. Placing your child on the waiting list is the means by which we can contact you in the future. Please contact the director for more information and/or to add your child to the waitlist.

place for kids to be. Our whole family has felt welcomed into
this supportive community of families, teachers, and church members
whose top priority is giving our children a great
beginning." "Although our family doesn't live close to VCP, I believe it is worth the drive. Alex has developed
a love of learning and really enjoys school. I appreciate the staff's age-approriate
curriculum and how each child is nurtured as a a unique individual." "What a blessing VCP has been in our lives. We've watched our daughter blossom
before our very eyes. I cannot think of a better place to nurture the early curiosities
of a preschooler."
"Molly loves Valley and is so excited to go each
time. She wakes up every morning asking if today is her day at Valley. I'm
so impressed by what a nurturing environment Valley is and also how it
encourages children to explore and learn about the world around them. It's
nice for us to know that Molly is having such a positive preschool
experience."
