As on of the SSPC's Preschool's Community at Large service projects, money was raised by research and care services offered by St. Jude Children's Hospital.  On Wed. Oct. 11, 2007 at 11:00 the children participated in a trike-athon.  Trikes, strollers, and other riding toys plus parents went round and round.  It was a wonderful sight to see these healthy children helping their far away friends.  The Honorable Delegate Joe Johnson was the official starter for the Trikeathon.  Over $2,300 was raised.  Thanks to all organizers, participants, and donors.

On your mark, get ready, get set, Go!

We would like to welcome you and your family to Sinking Spring Preschool . We are glad to have you here, and look forward to working together.

The purpose of Sinking Spring Preschool is for each child to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and mentally through appropriate activities offered in a nurturing environment.  We strive to instill a love of learning and encourage a natural curiosity in each child about his surrounding environment.

 Facilities

Sinking Spring Preschool  is located on the first floor of  the church.  The classrooms are equipped with furnishings and materials appropriate to the ages of the children.  Occasionally, the downstairs fellowship area is used.  Each room has direct access to a fenced-in playground, off-street parking, and restroom facilities.  Sinking Spring Preschool  has been granted a religiously exempt status from the State of Virginia.

Staff

Each staff member is qualified by education and/or experience to work with young children in a group setting.  Each must demonstrate a genuine love of children and concern for their growth and development.  Teachers are encouraged to attend early childhood conferences, seminars, and courses.  Inservice training is held monthly and 3 days before the school session starts.  Each staff member will be certified annually by a practicing physician to be free from any disability which would prevent them from caring for children.
 

Volunteers

We need and encourage volunteers.  Volunteers will not be left alone with a child, unless he/she has completed and filed all staff forms.

Children enrolled in Sinking Spring Preschool are covered by accidental injury insurance, while on the premises or on a school sponsored field trip.
