PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Children's Center at Park Hill United Methodist was formed in 1979 by church members who saw the need for a quality
child care/preschool program in the Park Hill neighborhood. Our non-profit program
was created as an outreach ministry for the community with a non-denominational curriculum and philosophy. Children
of any religious and/or cultural background are welcomed into our program. The center is licensed by the State
of Colorado for children two to twelve years old. We are proud of the great reputation that we have earned serving
our Denver metropolitan community.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Children's Center believes in each child's individuality and that each child is special. Each child
deserves respect, attention and the best developmentally appropriate program that our Early Childhood Education program can
provide. Each child must be provided with an opportunity to grow in a safe, loving and encouraging environment.
The Children's Center serves as a support system to help our families raise well-adjusted children. Each child's
success now, or in the future, depends on the close collaboration of teachers and parents who support the child's social,
emotional, and physical growth.
Children's Center Curriculum goals include:
- To help each child learn to make choices, decisions
and to solve problems
- To develop relationships between the children through sharing and interactions with
other children and adults.
- To develop each child's listening skills through music, reading and various audio
techniques.
- To work on physical and emotional development through all of the activities of the school.
-
To obtain experiences in language, art, math, drama and science and to learn about cultures around the world.
-
To encourage healthful eating habits through good nutrition and appropriate table manners.
