St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, Groton CT

Our Vision ************************************
"Saint Andrew Presbyterian Church Preschool values the whole child, which include the social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development of every child and seeks to offer a safe environment to encourage curiousity, adventure and a love for learning."
***************************************************

The most natural way a child learns is through play. Children learn by doing, they strive to become independent and self-directed in their learning.

Our focus is based on the whole child, which includes a variety of learning experiences to develop the spiritual, social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of every child as well as learning to develop a sense of community.
We want each child to feel good about who they are and to be able to make independent choices which fosters positive self-esteem and self-confidence.
We believe that each child is unique and special individual with varying interest, needs and abilities.
We strive to prepare an environment, which will help children develop to their fullest potential.
