Philosophy

All Saints Preschool provides quality educational services presented in a Christian environment of love and mutual respect. The developmentally based curriculum gives children opportunities to grow-- socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively -- at their own rates and in an atmosphere where they can feel comfortable, happy and successful.

Snacks

Children in our program provide the snack for classmates on a rotating basis. We try hard to reinforce good nutritional habits as stated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Child and Adult Care Food Program guidelines and as recommended by the NAEYC Accreditation Criteria for Health Standard.

Packaging: For easy distribution and cleanliness, snacks should be individually wrapped. Commercially prepared packaged foods in factory sealed containers work well.

Nutritional Guidelines: When choosing a healthy snack, please try to choose from the fruit, grain and vegetable food groups.

Allergies: We offer a peanut-free environment. Children who have peanut allergies cannot be exposed to any peanut products. Surprisingly, peanuts are a common food ingredient, so we ask parents to check the ingredients listed on prepared food packages. Also, in addition to peanuts or peanut products, please do not send grapes, cookies, marshmallows, candy or popcorn as a snack.

Birthdays: We enjoy celebrating birthdays with each of our children by singing “Happy Birthday” and giving the child a crown or badge to wear. The birthday child blows out candles on a “fake cake”. To be consistent with and to promote healthy food practices, we ask parents not send cake, cupcakes or cookies.

Teacher/student ratios

Two-day program: Two degreed teachers per 16 children.

Three- and four-day programs: Two degreed teachers per 20 children.
