Trinity UCC Preschool, 200 E. Market St., Hallam, is accepting registrations for the 2021-22 school year. The school strives to provide a safe and secure learning environment where creativity is encouraged, a progressive curriculum is taught, and each child is recognized as one of God's children.
Terrific Twos is an opportunity for caregivers and the youngest students to come together to play, learn, and grow. The meeting space is open to attendees and an adult beginning at 9 a.m. on class dates for open play and fellowship. A teacher-led class begins at 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 11 a.m. The class includes discovery and learning stations, music and movement, crafts and snack time. Adults have the option to stay and play with their child during that time, remain on the premises, or leave the building.
The school's 3-year-old students meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They learn during circle time, at tables during small group instruction, and during thoughtful play. The focus of this program is on social development while introducing students to a variety of early literacy skills and number development as well as many concepts and themes throughout the year. Both morning and afternoon sessions are available.
Kindergarten readiness is the priority for the three-day program for 4-year-olds that meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The program's goal is for students to gain a basic understanding of core content areas needed to be emergent in literacy, as well as to develop number sense and other basic skills as they become active readers, mathematicians, and scientists. These goals are directly aligned with the Eastern York School District's curricula. Both morning and afternoon classes are held.
The prekindergarten program is designed to meet the needs of students who do not meet the age eligibility requirements for kindergarten, those who would benefit from an additional year of preschool, and those who are looking for a more intensive five-day program. It utilizes the Starfall curriculum for language arts and reading development. For math instruction, the school follows the Math Counts program to prepare its students with the skills needed to be successful in meeting the requirements of kindergarten. This curriculum aligns with the mathematics curriculum of Eastern York School District. Prekindergarten meets on Mondays through Fridays from 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
An extended day/lunch bunch program is offered two days a week from October to April. Students may bring a cold packed lunch to school to enjoy with their friends followed by specially themed enrichment activities which include art, music, literature, language, and science.
The school's goal is to encourage the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child through meaningful play, creative learning, exploration, and discovery. The program is tailored to meet the needs of 2- to 5-year-old students.
