Dear Parent,

Welcome to Cypress Christian Preschool. We are committed to providing your family the best possible care during the most formative years of your child’s life. The following is some basic information to help you understand the type of environment your child would find should you decide to enroll him or her in our program.

Our Preschool is a Christian organization sponsored by Cypress Wesleyan Church. Overall daily administration and operation is provided by the Preschool Program Director.

This school is a privately owned and operated non-profit preschool & daycare. The school is licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and approved to operate as a Preschool. We care for children age 3-5 in preschool.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PHILOSOPHY/GOALS – Our educational philosophy is based on the belief that early Christian education provides an essential part of the development and growth of an individual. Therefore, it is our desire to guide and nurture each child by providing learning experiences in the areas of spiritual, social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development. It is our goal that as an atmosphere of Christian love surrounds the children, they will develop attitudes that will enable them to reach their full God-given potential in each area of development.

ADMISSION POLICY – Children will be accepted on a first come first serve basis and upon completion of the Preschool Registration Form and payment of the $65.00 enrollment fee. This registration form and fee is paid when you register. You do not need to pay this fee twice. When enrollment is full, a waiting list will be established. These persons will be contacted should an opening arise. All areas of the application forms must be filled in completely, leaving no empty spaces. All other enrollment forms must be filled out and turned in before the child can be in attendance.

PARENT PARTICIPATION – Parents are welcome to observe or volunteer in the classroom. Parent-Teacher conferences will be offered once a year and upon request of either parent or teacher. You will be sent an invitation to join our Share-site to keep you informed of special events within our school as well as church wide.

TUITION – Our school exists as a non-profit organization with tuition and fees established to cover the basic cost of operation. Tuition costs remain the same regardless of daily absence, holiday, staff development, or snow days. In this packet, you will find tuition express forms. If you choose not to sign up for the direct debit, you will have to pay your tuition in full or in 2 installments. More information is in the Tuition Express parent letter.

Dear Families,

We’ve got something to shout about! Recently Cypress Christian Preschool and Daycare was named a One-Star Step Up To Quality Program by the State of Ohio. Only the top child care programs in Ohio receive this prestigious award, so you should be proud that your child (children) is enrolled in one of Ohio’s best.

We received this award because of our overall commitment to quality and our excellent early care and education program. We offer a wonderful environment for children to grow and develop, and it is an honor to receive state recognition for our efforts. Among the special quality features that helped us win this award are the following:

• More teachers per child – this allows a teacher to spend more time with your child

• More qualified teachers – more training in early childhood development

• A commitment to early learning and Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards and Infant and Toddler Guidelines

• An outstanding work environment – paid staff benefits mean staff is treated professionally, which goes a long way in retaining good teachers for your child

As a parent, this award is yours as well. Your ideas and support have inspired us to bring a world of discovery and excitement to your child (children) each and every day. Our goal is to build your child’s self-confidence, develop their social and emotional skills and instill a love for learning that will follow them the rest of their life.

We are extremely pleased to have won this award and hope you are too. We tell our children to reach for the stars. Today we feel like they are in our grasp.

Sincerely,

Lisa Kaltenbach

Program Director

CURRICULUM – Our first and foremost goal here at Cypress Christian Preschool is to provide a caring and nurturing environment that is sensitive to the needs of your child.

Our teachers will be working very hard to provide a variety of activities, materials and learning experiences that introduce, reinforce and extend desired skills and concepts at all levels. The curriculum is divided into seven major areas of focus; social and spiritual development, gross motor, fine motor, reading, math, and basic readiness skills.

Cypress Christian Preschool

Statement of Faith

The congregation of Cypress Wesleyan Church is comprised of people from many church/religious backgrounds. We are confident in the Bible as our written source for spiritual truth. We believe that personal faith in Christ is our primary hope of final salvation. We look to Christ as our example for life. We need each other for effective spiritual growth and maturity in our Christian walk of life. Below is a basic creed.

We believe:

that the Bible is unparalleled in its divine inspiration and in its complete accuracy and authority as God’s revealed source of faith and truth to us.

in one God, beside Whom there is no other and whose nature and activity is supremely revealed to us through His expression of Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.

that human nature involves the image of God, in part, but also displays the universal tendency toward the practice of sin, which is basically rebellion (active or passive ) against God.

that Man’s ultimate and most urgent needs are an awareness of his condition before God and a new life with Him, through Christ.

that Jesus Christ is God’s unique revelation of Himself to us in human form, and His chosen pathway for our salvation, by virtue of His birth, life, death, resurrection and present intercession for us.

that the way to salvation is through confession, forgiveness of sins, and personal acceptance by faith of Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord.

that our lives should seek to “…reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:13, NIV).

We have read and understand the Statement of Faith:
