Preschool Programs

The purpose of the Bryn Athyn Church Preschool is to support a young child’s:

• Love for the Lord

• Delight in moments of discovery

• Joy in interaction with others

Guided by the teachings of the New Church, we are dedicated to providing a gentle transition from home to school and to protecting and nurturing a young child’s innocence. We are committed to serving the whole child in their spiritual, cognitive, social and physical development. We do this by helping the children learn about themselves, each other, the world around them and a loving God. We also strive to foster strong relationships among our families, school, church and community. The Bryn Athyn Church Preschool provides an excellent environment and education for your child as they grow and learn.

Our Three Year Old Program provides a friendly atmosphere that will make your child feel comfortable and secure. The teachers will help your child extend their skills and knowledge by gently guiding them through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning. Your child will have opportunities to see, touch and investigate their natural world. They will also further develop their language and communication skills by interacting with their teachers and learning from each other. This growth enhancing environment will allow your child to flourish.
Our Three Year old Program runs Monday through Friday from 8:00 or 9:00 am until 12:00 pm. You have the option to sign your child up for three, four or five mornings. They are also invited to enroll in our Wonder Garden Program from 12:00-3:00 pm. See the description below. Children must be reliably potty-trained.

In the Four Year Old Program we strive to build a strong foundation on which future learning can take place by providing an environment that encourages investigation and active learning. By directing your child’s curiosity and natural love of learning the teachers will help your child build their knowledge and awareness of the world around them. They will also learn patience and the ability to take turns, share and listen to others. While still primarily play-based, our curriculum includes some pre-literacy and math concepts as we look towards preparing your child for a successful transition into kindergarten.
Our Four Year Old Program runs Monday through Friday from 8:00 or 9:00 am until 12:00 pm with the option of three, four or five days. Our extended afternoon program, Wonder Garden, is also available from 12:00 to 3:00 pm. See the description below.

Wonder Garden is an afternoon program for Preschoolers and Kindergartners. Wonder Garden is designed to offer a structured play atmosphere. The children eat lunch and then participate in a variety of activities. They might work on creating art projects or spend time playing or drawing with their friends. Some time is spent outside almost everyday, providing the children with a wonderful opportunity to develop their motor skills while connecting with their environment and each other.

Other Notes:

We take school safety very seriously for your preschooler.  Our building is locked and employees must have swipe cards to enter.  Visitors are welcome, and we encourage parents to come in!  We have a name tag and sign in system that is easy for parents to feel welcome AND know that their child is safe.

We also have a full-time school nurse who we can call on anytime.
