About Us
At Prince of Peace Preschool, we believe that children learn best through play and hands-on exploration. Our indoor and outdoor classrooms provide a fun and stimulating learning environment where children can investigate and explore using their tremendous curiosity while developing kindergarten readiness skills. Our students explore our outdoor nature playground and garden year-round and on a daily basis. One of our primary goals is to develop a positive self-image in each child while practicing social, cognitive and language skills; affirming that he or she is a unique, special person. We utilize Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies to guide our learning with studies and activities that enable children to develop confidence, creativity, and life-long critical thinking skills. In addition, we utilize Learning Without Tears for pre-writing and incorporate a variety of music, process art, and gross/fine motor activities throughout the school day.

Happy Graduation, Class of 2025!
their children leading pretend circle times for their siblings or stuffed animals, and are aspiring teachers. If some of our students go on to become teachers, what would we like them to share with their students? The same two goals we have had for our 20 years of teaching early childhood education, and both involve love. First, we would like our students to develop a lifelong love of learning. In fact, our motto is “Explore, Discover and Learn!” (It was “Play, Pray and Learn”, but try to say that out loud-it’s a mouthful!) No matter how our students learn, or what type of studies and vocations they choose, we want them to love the educational journey.
The second goal is for them to know that they are loved, period, stop. They are loved by their families, by all of us at Prince of Peace, and by God. We want them to know that they and all of the other children in world, are beloved children of God. If our future teachers and all of us at Prince of Peace Preschool accomplish those two goals, we know that we have been successful!
