philosophy
Pennside Weekday Preschool, a preschool for children of all denominations in our community, seeks:

• To provide an enriching transition between home and full time school, by building self esteem, and developing a positive attitude toward learning in each child.
• To promote social interaction by building relationships with others, developing self-control, independence and a sensitivity to the world around us.
• To offer spiritual development for the children of God, teaching children they are created, loved and cared for by God.
