Trinity Community Preschool is a ministry of Trinity Evangelical Free Church. It has been in operation for 30 years and is licensed by the State of Connecticut as a Preschool/Day Care facility

Trinity Community Preschool exists:

• To be a faith-based pre-school that supports and teaches Christian beliefs and values.
• To reach out with God’s love to the children and families of our church and surrounding  communities.
• To teach children about God, His love, His work through people and the world around us.
• To promote school readiness by providing a happy and successful pre-school experience.

Trinity Community Pre-school recognizes each child as a unique creation. We believe that maturation plus experience influence a child’s development. Children feel safe within the boundaries of a loving and nurturing environment. Within our warm and secure environment, your child will be free to explore and learn. A daily class schedule includes encouragement of growth and knowledge in all areas of development. Our program incorporates aspects of a traditional classroom and routine along with developmentally appropriate methods and play centers. Our Pre-school program offers;

• Active exploration of the environment with hands-on learning
• Balance of child-initiated and teacher initiated activities
• Individual, small group and large group activities
• Regular and supportive interaction with teachers and peers
• Opportunities for fine motor and gross motor skill development

Our Classrooms are spacious with large windows, child-sized tables and chairs. Various areas for small manipulatives (sorting, matching, building, and sequencing), art and writing, dramatic play, cars and trucks, puzzles, reading and blocks are provided. Our children’s bathrooms are easily accessible. We have a fully equipped kitchen and gym area along with a fenced in playground out-side.

Trinity Community Preschool is established to serve children who will be 2, 3, 4 or 5 by Jan. 1st. We are offering the following classes for the 2011/2012 school year:

• 2’s     Mon./Fri.            9:00 – 11:30
• 3’s     Tues./Thurs.      9:00 – 11:30 with a 1:00 option
• 4’s     Mon./Wed./Fri.   9:00 – 1:00 with a 3:00 option
• 5’s     Mon. – Fri.         9:00 – 1:00 with a 3:00 option on M/W/F

The 4 and 5 year-old classes are both Pre-K classes that provide opportunities for growth in Kindergarten readiness skills. Our 5 year-old class is a unique class for children old enough to attend Kindergarten who would benefit developmentally from an extra year in a low-key, nurturing environment.
