Exciting changes are taking place at Eastern Christian Preschool in preparation for the 2012-13 school year. Preschool classes are moving into three classrooms in a dedicated primary program wing at the elementary school on Baldin Drive in Midland Park. This move will allow more flexibility in scheduling the three-year-old, four-year-old, and junior kindergarten classes to meet parents’ needs. Classrooms will be refurnished and decorated for September 2012. Half-day and full-day kindergarten options are also available in Eastern Christian’s primary program. Preschool classes run from 8:35 to 11:30. The following programs are being offered for the 2012-13. • Three-year-old: Monday and Wednesday with additional Friday option • Four-year-old: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with additional Thursday option • Junior kindergarten: Monday through Friday • Early drop off 8 a.m. • Lunch Box Program 11:30 to 12:30 • Stay ‘N Play or Come ‘N Play program 12:30 to 3:15 • After School Program 3:15 to 6
Eastern Christian to have dedicated preschool wing
Students from Eastern Christian Elementary School.
An early childhood team of teachers, parents, and administrators recently completed a comprehensive review of Eastern Christian’s early childhood program and made recommendations to expand and restructure the program. This recommendation was approved by the ECSA Board of Directors and will be completed in several phases over the next few years. Eastern Christian’s primary program mission is “to provide a quality Christian learning community which
nurtures each student’s God-given curiosity into a love of learning. We will provide a safe and secure environment for transformational academic, social, emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual growth. The program will strive to develop partnership with parents and families resulting in each child’s growth and development.” For additional information, contact Eastern Christian Preschool and Elementary School at (201) 445-6150 or visit the website at easternchristian.org.
