Preschool Ministry
The Montrose Zion Christian Preschool was started in 2007 by a group of passionate congregation members who had a vision for providing a quality education for young children that also emphasized our faith.
Mission Statement
We believe that every child is created and loved by God and is, therefore, of great significance to the Church. Montrose Zion Christian Preschool’s mission is to nurture the spiritual, physical, emotional, social and cognitive needs of the children and their families in our congregation and in our community in a happy, healthy, safe, and loving Christian environment.
Immunization Policy
We do not accept children who are not immunized for any reason other than the immunization is medically contraindicated or not medically appropriate for the child’s age. Children whose parents have declined immunizations will not be accepted.
What’s Happening In Preschool:
This Week (week of April 8): Monday the preschool will be closed for “Eclipse Day”! On Tuesday we will jump right into letter “V”. Centers will include growing, counting and sorting vegetables, exploring our sense of smell with vinegar, vanilla and Vick Vapor Rub, and erupting a few volcanoes in the FFC. Some of our fun snacks include vegetable chips, a vegetable taste test, and vanilla pudding! YUM!! We will travel to Urban Air on Friday with our families for our April Field Trip to bounce, climb and swing in their facility. They are opening up just for us.
Next Week (week of April 15th): It will be all about the letter “W” when we come to school on Monday. Washing toys, counting watermelon seeds, finding Waldo, learning about whales and some super fun experiments with water will keep us very busy and “W”et. Snacks will include waffles, wheat crackers, watermelon and dirt with worms.
In Chapel on Wednesday, we will travel to Creation Station and hear about Doubting Thomas and how we can learn to live by faith even as small children. We will end our week on Friday with a very special celebration of Earth Day with a special friend each of the children invited to preschool that morning. We are so excited to have the FFC filled with a special someone that has made a “World of Difference” in the lives of these young children.
April Mission: We will be collecting spare change this month in Honor of Earth Day. This year we have voted to help sponsor the Humboldt Penguin residing at the Akron Zoo! Last Year we raised $180. For the Chilian Flamingo. There is a marked jar in the Gathering Area if you wish to add to our mission.
