[email protected] mtzionchinagrove.com Thank you for your interest in the Mt. Zion UCC Preschool Program. We are proud to offer a wellrounded program that provides the children with a loving, secure, Christian environment that revolves around learning, playing, and discovering. Mt. Zion Preschool’s Statement of Purpose Mt. Zion United Church of Christ Weekday Preschool will provide for its young students a wholesome living and learning experience. A well-trained and dedicated staff will offer an educational experience structured to meet the physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of young children. A wellplanned but informal, flexible program will be offered to meet individual and group needs. The children will be encouraged to help themselves and to think for themselves. They will also be encouraged to assume some responsibility for their own behavior. We will try to inspire creativity. We utilize positive reinforcement as our behavior system. There will be no particular religious doctrine taught in our school, but wholesome attitudes toward each other will be taught. The children will be encouraged to grow in their awareness of God and the place they are to take in God's world. Bible stories will be used in the class to teach Christian ideas and values. The children will be working and playing under the guidance of Christian leadership.
