Welcome
Get to know more about what makes us different.
New Hope Preschool, an extension of New Hope Presbyterian Church's Children's Ministry, offers hands-on, developmentally appropriate education for children ages 3 and up. Our loving, faith-based environment, led by state-qualified teachers, prepares young learners for kindergarten and beyond using Howard Gardner's "Multiple Intelligences" philosophy. Our curriculum enhances social, emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical development through activities like painting, drawing, building, singing, dancing, and exploring.
As the Preschool Director, I am committed to nurturing each child's unique potential and fostering a love for learning in a joyful, supportive environment. I hope our preschool will be the perfect fit for your child, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Our Mission
With the overall goal of preparing our young learners for kindergarten and beyond, the children are taught in a loving, faith-based environment, by state-qualified teachers who strive to meet the unique needs of each child using Howard Gardner's philosophy of "Multiple Intelligences."
Our curriculum focuses on further strengthening each child's social, emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical development through developmentally appropriate practice. In order to achieve this, children participate in painting, drawing, creating, pretending, building, listening, talking, climbing, running, singing, dancing, and exploring, just to name a few!

Our Philosophy
We believe children learn best in a structured environment where praise is readily given.
We believe children need movement throughout the day.
We believe children should be able to sing and laugh, talk and listen, and be talked to and listened to each day.
We believe parents, teachers, and children are partners in education.
We believe appropriate behavior is learned through consistent guidance.
We believe in furthering a child's Christian growth through praise songs, worship, and prayer.
We believe a child's preschool experience should be happy, fun, exciting and nurturing.
It is our privilege to care for and teach your child.

Our Curriculum
We offer hands-on, thematic curriculum based on the principles of Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. Each learning activity is designed with a particular “intelligence” in mind. The intelligences include linguistic, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, naturalist, logical/mathematical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Every learner has their own learning strengths, including young children. By offering a wide range of curricular areas, teachers can more easily adapt instruction to better reach each type of learner.
The Multiple Intelligences Theory lends itself beautifully to the learning centers that make up each of our early childhood classrooms, embracing the understanding that children can, not only build upon the learning strengths they already have, but also improve upon those that are not their dominant intelligence.
