PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE

BOULEVARD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PRESCHOOL (BPCP) is a non-profit, interfaith, interracial program serving the children of the community.  It is licensed by the State of Ohio, with a certified teacher directing each class.  The BPCP program emphasizes the development of the total child, including the emotional, social, spiritual, physical, and intellectual growth of each preschooler.  A rich environment is provided to stimulate the child’s curiosity, awareness, development of language, and encourage social interaction with other children and adults.   Our traditional program guides children to be actively involved in their learning process through our theme-based curriculum.

The children are given independence within a structured environment to explore, create and interact with adults and children.  Each child is provided with opportunities to make choices, problem solve and foster creativity.  These opportunities develop a positive self-concept and attitude toward learning, self-control, and a sense of belonging. 

BPCP staff have many years of experience working with groups of young children. Our qualified teachers participate in in-service training throughout the year, are certified in first aid, CPR, recognition of communicable diseases and knowledge of the signs of child abuse and neglect.

The early years in your child’s life are a precious time.  We make sure your child is secure and loved in an environment full of opportunities.  Each program strives to engage and stimulate the child’s mind.  

DAILY PROGRAM

BPCP classrooms encourage children to play, learn and explore through a variety of activities.

At the center of every project and activity, there is a specially trained teacher and an age-appropriate theme-based curriculum to lead the way.  By providing children with activities that match their developmental needs and abilities, learning occurs easily and naturally.  In the classroom and on the playground, these concepts are integrated into all aspects of our daily schedule.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

BPCP’s open-door policy invites participation from parents and family members.  A monthly newsletter is sent home with pertinent information and an activities calendar.  Communication is facilitated by parent/teacher conferences.  Special Field Trips, Dad’s and Mom’s Nights, an annual Holiday program and the annual picnic help to involve the family in the activities of the child.

  ENROLLMENT

Enrollment is open to any potty-trained preschool child (excluding 1-Day Playgroup), provided we can meet the needs of that child.  BPCP does not discriminate based on sex, race, color, national origin, or religion when considering a child for admission to our program.
