Welcome to our school...
We are a non-denominational Christian Pre-School of
approximately 200 children. Attending are toddlers 9 months to 2 1/2
years and pre-schoolers ages 2 1/2 to 5. Children from many local
churches attend BCP along with many children who do not have a church
home. Since we are known for providing a quality program in a Christian
setting, we attract families from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Our Philosophy...
We provide a loving Christian environment with
emphasis on the developmental stages of the child. At Bethlehem Christian
Pre-School we desire to provide activities that are are age-appropriate
and nurture the spiritual, physical, mental and social development of each
child. We believe children learn as they play. Learning for children
takes place when information is meaningful, and is in the context of
their experiences and development. Therefore, children learn best when
provided with a variety of stimulating experiences in which they may
freely interact.
Our Early Childhood Education program is designed to
support and extend young children's learning through direct experiences.
Children learn when actively engaged, so we provide a balance of
teacher-directed and child-initiated activities.
Our Statement of Faith...
Bethlehem Christian Pre-School is a ministry of Christian City
Church and is non-denominational in nature. Jesus Christ is central to
our faith and philosophy. Our Christian beliefs are best represented by
the Apostle's Creed. Throughout the year we talk about how God created the
world and us, and that He loves us and sent Jesus to us. At this level
we pray together, read Bible stories, use flannel graphs and role play
such things as the nativity. Each month we focus on character traits
such as obedience or honesty.
