"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.' "
 ï»¿Matthew 19:14
​Goals of Pathways to Preschool Program


To satisfy three basic needs of your child:

  1. Intellectual Curiosity or "the need to find out"

  2. Social Adjustment or "the need to belong"

  3. Spiritual Awareness or "the need to feel secure in God's plan for us"

 

To help children:

  • learn to work and play independently, to be at ease while away from home, and learn to accept help and direction from adults

  • learn to interact effectively with other children and to value one's own rights and the rights of others

  • develop self-identity and a view of themselves as having competence and worth

  • realize many opportunities to strive and to succeed physically - intellectually and socially

  • widen and sharpen language skills - both listening and speaking

  • be curious, that is, to wonder and to seek answers to questions
