Director: Mrs. Gypsy Holt
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, second, and third floors 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.
Insurance
Children enrolled in Sinking Spring Preschool are covered by accidental injury insurance, while on the premises or on a school sponsored field trip.
