Philosophy - Our philosophy is based on the educational psychology of Jean Piaget and our Christian background. Arcadia Episcopal Preschool (AEP) creates a warm and caring environment for children. As a developmental school emphasizing social-emotional, cognitive and physical skills we prepare children for Kindergarten. The school is open year round to accommodate working parents. Children in diapers are cheerfully welcomed.
Staff - Our staff is trained in the fields of early childhood and developmental education. We also provide in-service training to keep our staff up-to-date on newest advances in the field.
Our Preschool Director is Marie Ostrowski, or as the kids call her: "Miss Marie."
Admission Policy - We welcome all children, regardless of race, religion, creed or gender, who may benefit from our program.
