About Wolcott Hill Preschool
Welcome to Wolcott Hill Preschool, a place where Jesus is worshipped and His creation is explored! We are a ministry of Levittown Baptist Church since 1978. Our priority is to bring God glory by providing outstanding early childhood education to the Long Island community. Our mission is to create a nurturing environment, where children grow in their knowledge of their Creator and His creation.
We use play as the main catalyst to our students learning, and encourage creativity through open ended activities. Much of our philosophy of education comes from the Reggio Emilia Approach of early learning.
We currently offer 3, 4 or 5 half day programs a week for 3 and 4 year olds. Three year olds also have the option of 2 half days per week. Our school calendar runs from September to June, and classes are held from 9:30 am -12:00 noon.
What We Value
About God
We believe in the one true and living God who exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God is the Creator of all things and worthy of our worship. God showed His love through the death and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ, saving people from sin and restoring their relationship with God. His disciples, through the Holy Spirit, are called to share this good news with all people, including children.
About Children
We value children as gifts from God, who are unique in their capabilities and personalities. We believe all children are naturally curious and competent, ready to grow in their understanding of the world around them. To accomplish this, it is essential that children are at the center of their learning. We desire all children to discover their potential and find security and confidence in who they are as image bearers of God.
About Our Staff
Wolcott Hill’s staff are experienced, high-quality early childhood educators. They are professing believers that attend Bible-believing churches. They strive to share God’s love and truth with students daily: modeling prayer, a love for God’s word, and the fruits of the spirit through school activities. They strive to make the learning process fun and engaging while modeling how to love God and others (Mark 12:30-31).
About Play
We believe early learning is driven through play. Play allows children to explore, create, innovate and attain knowledge through social cooperation. Emphasizing play makes the child the center of their learning. We ensure students are given opportunities to use all their senses during play, and activities are developed that are hands-on, constructive and challenging yet achievable.
About Reggio Emilia
Within the framework set out by God’s Word (the Bible), Wolcott Hill is inspired by the Reggio Emilia style of teaching. Said simply, teachers observe what children know, what they want to learn, and what challenges them. The student takes an active role in their education, and learn together with the teacher and classroom. Children learn by doing!
