Our Philosophy

 

The Athens Church of Christ Preschool operates under a progressive Christ-centered approach to learning for preschool children. We believe in a child-centered, teacher-facilitated philosophy to teaching and learning. Research shows that children learn best through interactive, hands-on experiences and much repetition. We have designed our program and our rooms so that children are free to explore, learn, and develop at their own pace in a developmentally and age-appropriate way.

 

ACCP is intent on drawing from all experiences in children’s lives to provide the most consistent and appropriate education. We believe in providing a secure, warm, and nurturing environment. We offer an experience based curriculum which incorporates each child’s unique home and community experiences into their school program. Therefore, we provide a structured classroom schedule designed specifically to insure the flexible and individualized program we know is appropriate for young children
