Mission Statement
"It is the mission of United Church Preschool to provide a warm and caring environment that nurtures each child socially, physically, and cognitively through the combined efforts of teachers and parents."
     
Creative Atmosphere
Each child is encouraged to express his or her individuality through many multi-sensory experiences. The children enjoy play-doh, a sand and water table, daily craft projects, easel painting, music, dramatic play and cooking.
Socialization
Preschool is an exciting time for children. They are beginning to use words to express their thoughts and feelings, and they are also learning how to make friends and get along with others. During free play, circle time and gym, the children will be gently guided on how to share, compromise, follow instructions, problem solve, take turns, stand in line, be the leader, and speak in turn.
     
A Cooperative Program
"Cooperative" means giving you and your child the opportunity to share his or her first school experiences. You will be a part of your child's interaction with others and meet their friends. Parents participate in the classroom, assisting the teacher on a scheduled basis. It also means a voice in the school. At United Church Preschool, parents and teachers make up the Board of Directors.
    
Gym Everyday
We have both indoor and outdoor gym facilities to foster large muscle coordination. Our equipment includes: fire engines, swings, big wheels, slides, tricycles, a climbing apparatus, an outdoor sandbox, a balance beam, tumbling mats and a parachute.

    
Field Trips
Field Trips to local points of interest enhance your child's awareness of the natural world and of the people and places in his or her community. Trips have included visits to: the Suffolk County Farm, the Connetquot River State Park, the Sayville Beach, the Long Island Science Center, the Holtsville Ecology Center, the Sayville Fire Department, the Sayville Public Library, local theater productions and shows at the Nassau Coliseum.
    
Classroom Setting
Our teaching staff is made up of three certified teachers who have over 30 years combined experience teaching young children. Classrooms are bright and cheerfully decorated making the environment playful and inviting for the children.
    
Three-Year-Old Class
The three-year-old class is designed to teach basic readiness skills through play and music. A safe and nurturing environment is provided to promote personal growth, responsibility and independence. We encourage the children to verbally express their needs and feelings and give them the opportunity to explore, discover, ask questions and take initiative through everyday activities. Monthly themes and books are introduced throughout the year. Learning is fun as we bake, sing, move to music, and laugh and play on pajama day and beach day.
    
Four-Year-Old Class
In the four-year-old class, you will see your child grow as an individual as well as be part of a group. The children will have opportunities to play with blocks, paint at the easel, work on a puzzle, explore with play-doh, engage in dramatic play, utilize manipulative toys or work on an arts and crafts project. During circle time, we sing songs, play instruments, play and move to music, read a book, discuss the date, observe the weather and say the Pledge of Allegiance. During Show and Tell, the children will learn the letter of the week. We explore sound recognition and enhance vocabulary with each letter.
    
Pre-K Class
The Pre-K Class follows the same basic curriculum as the four-year class, however, the five-day program affords extra time in the classroom. With that time, we are able to expand the basic curriculum with language enriched activities, hands-on learning experiences, math readiness, and simple science activities. We cover alphabet recognition, letter recognition, letter skills, number recognition, counting, and handwriting readiness skills.
    
Lunch Bunch
Our optional two-hour Lunch Bunch class is held once a week during lunch time for the four-year-old and five-year-old children. Lunch Bunch is a fun-filled learning adventure that provides an extended school day for your child. Through the use of craft projects, drawing, painting, games, books, and even cooking, your preschooler will be introduced to a number of exciting topics. They will begin to learn facts about our solar system and our planet, discover differences that exist in cultures around the world, see the work of some well-known artists, play counting games, recognize letter forms, and begin to write their names.
