Introduction/Description:

     SYC is a part-time preschool program. As a community outreach program of the First Unitarian Universalist Church, we are a welcoming school–we do not discriminate upon the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, economic status, or cultural background of parents or children.

     There is no religious doctrine taught at the school. We are licensed by the Ohio Department of Human Services and accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs.

     SYC provides a valuable atmosphere for young children by devoting the largest amount of class time to free play . Our children begin to practice life skills by engaging in day-to-day relationships. Many art activities, games, costumes, and toys are provided to enhance their imaginative play. Teachers guide children to expand their ideas, enrich the interaction, and put their ideas into purposeful activities. When necessary, teachers set appropriate limits so children will feel safe.

OUR GOALS

So, what does a child who goes to SYC get from us? Here is what we hope for:
♥ A clearer sense of who he is
♥ Skills to express feelings, solve problems and resolve conflicts
♥ The feeling of being valued, cared for and loved by a teacher
♥ Some lasting memories that school can be a place to enjoy, have fun, a place he wants to come back to
♥ The assurance that she will grow at her own rate

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

     SYC classroom methods work with typically developing children. Our teachers are not trained to meet the needs of children with special needs. However, we value inclusion of children with special needs and have successfully integrated many special needs children into our classrooms. Our successes, we believe, are due to parents getting their children the outside professional help they need so our teachers can receive some guidance in their management.

     In these situations, we are prepared to hire an extra class teacher for a limited time should class management be an issue. If, after these efforts have been made to work with a child and family, the child does not appear to be benefiting from our program, we shall communicate with the family and appropriate specialists to determine the child’s current needs, identify the setting and services most suited to meeting these needs, and assist the family in placing the child in a more appropriate setting.

Childcare Philosophy:

     Each child structures most of his day, free to make choices from the variety of activities. By interacting socially with peers and experiencing the consequences of their acts, the children gradually mature and acquire self-control, self-esteem, and a sense of responsibility.
