welcome

The mission of the First Presbyterian Early Childhood Program is to promote the development of each child physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and spiritually at his/her own pace through a developmentally appropriate curriculum.

Through the High Scope-inspired approach, children are given the tools and support to develop knowledge and skills in academic, social and physical areas. Our program is made possible through the support of the First Presbyterian Church of Edmond.

about

What does it mean to be "High Scope-inspired?"
High Scope's educational approach emphasizes "active participatory learning." Active learning means students have direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. Children's interests and choices are at the heart of our programs.

They construct their own knowledge through interactions with the world and the people around them. Children take the first step in the learning process by making choices and following through on their plans and decisions. Teachers offer physical, emotional, and intellectual support. In active learning settings, adults expand children's thinking with diverse materials and nurturing interactions.

Teachers plan experiences based on High Scope content areas which correspond to state and national learning standards. Children's development is assessed through daily recorded observation which is reviewed with parents throughout the year. For more information about our program or High Scope please visit www.highscope.com or Contact Us with questions or to set up a tour.

School Environment
School environment is a vital part of the High Scope curriculum. Spaces are carefully arranged to provide children the opportunity to choose and carry their play and to actively participant in appropriate responsibilities in the classroom. Materials are strategically placed in spaces to allow exploration at all levels of development. New materials are introduced in the classrooms as the children express their personal interests and as development progresses.

Faculty Qualifications
First Presbyterian ECP employs and supports talented educators who share a love of children. Educators in the Early Childhood Program bring extensive experience and education to the classroom. The majority of our educators hold a college degree, most in the areas of Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education. All educators receive extensive training throughout the year and all educators are trained in First Aid, CPR, allergy and disease awareness, and child abuse.

Parents' Group Needs Your Help!

The ECP Parents' Group consists of parents who are working to improve our School through either fundraising efforts or by coordinating and/or volunteering at school events which benefit our children. If you would like to be part of making a positive difference at our school, we need your help!

There are many volunteer options available to you—some are for an hour or for three hours if that's what you want! We plan, organize and work Festifall, the School's major yearly fundraiser; monthly Pizza Days; Donuts with Dads; and the springtime Book Fair, just to name a few of our special events.

In the past we have scheduled meetings in order to discuss PTO business, and this has required additional time from our members. Now, we want to take advantage of electronic media to notify you of School news and PTO activities. For the first time, we have an email parentsgroup@fpecp.com. To help us get started and make sure we have your information, please send us an email with "Mailing List" in the subject line. Be sure and include your name in the text of your message. This will help us grow our address list and facilitate our efforts to keep you informed of everything that is going on. However, it is completely optional. You may, also, use the email address for any suggestions you might have.

We will still need your physical presence at School, sometimes, but we hope these efforts will minimize the time required. We are striving to manage our time and resources more efficiently.

This is going to be a great year, and we cannot wait to meet and welcome all of our new families!

If you have questions or need information about one of the available openings, please feel free to email me at julieleblanc4@gmail.com.
At your service,
