HISTORY of FAITH PRESCHOOL

In the summer of 1977, a group of young mothers of Faith Church were given a challenge to create a preschool.  Many afternoons were spent visiting existing schools to collect ideas of how we wanted the school to be structured. Then we went through piles and piles of rules and regulations the state required for licensing. That fall, our major goal was to devise the basis of our school.  Since all of the mothers were former teachers, our desire was to provide a quality preschool program, which would stimulate the child and allow a creative preschool learning experience.  Many long hours were put into this.  After getting clearance from the church to begin, and after receiving the state license, our next major step was to advertise.  The children of the church passed out flyers from door to door, and through the grace of God, we were able to register enough children to start one morning class for the 4’s, and one morning class for the 3’s.  Through the next few years, the school added classes, equipment, and materials.  We look back today and can be quite proud of what started off as a challenge: we now have a quality program for the “Whole” child.
