Mission

Responding to Christ's call to mission, First Presbyterian Church in Allen pledges itself to a ministry of child development, embracing basic Christian values, by means of an on-site preschool. The church recognizes the critical importance of early childhood experiences and education as a foundation for every child's intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical and social growth.

 

Classes will be structured to include a balance of language building activities, gross and fine motor skill development, play activities, creative artwork, music exercise story time and learning centers. Their focus will be developmentally appropriate and nurture each child's self esteem.

 

Further, First Presbyterian Church and Joyful Beginnings affirm their commitment to diversity and inclusiveness by providing a quality preschool program that serves and strives to reflect the economic, racial and religious diversity in the community.

 

Through this commitment, First Presbyterian Church and Joyful Beginnings aspire to foster a love of learning in each child and to equip each child to appreciate the gifts of God throughout his or her life, thereby enabling each child to express this joy in a life of loving, tolerance and learning.

Goals

The goals of Joyful Beginnings are to foster a love of learning, an appreciation of self and a concern for others, laying the groundwork for successful learning experiences in grade school and beyond.
