Philosophy
PCBC Day School is a ministry of Park Cities Baptist Church that provides personalized early childhood education and care for the community of Dallas and surrounding areas through a stimulating, loving Christian environment and a curriculum of active learning that nurtures the growth of the whole child. It is our purpose to prepare each child for the next level of learning and growing cognitively, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually.
WE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN ARE A GIFT OF THE LORD. (PSALM 127:3)
We have been given the great responsibility and privilege to help them grow and learn through the stages of their young life. We believe that through play and guided learning, children develop all the skills they need for school and life. Childhood is a time for fun, exploration, and self-discovery. PCBC Day School offers an environment that encourages the love of learning, independence, and provides opportunities to explore new ideas.
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS THE CENTER OF ALL THINGS. (MATTHEW 6:33)
Because of this, we base our instruction on Christian beliefs and biblical principles. Each child is seen as a true gift from God and is treated as such (Psalm 127:3). Because each child is unique and has been given different gifts and abilities, we work to initially discover each child's strengths. We then can design activities that will build on these strengths while at the same time, encourage development in areas of needed growth in the child. To learn more about our beliefs, please visit the Park Cities Baptist Church Website.
WE BELIEVE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING THROUGH PLAY AND DISCOVERY.
A child's work is play! Concept development comes from experimenting with the environment and having time and space to practice repeating the concepts. The acquisition of concepts and skills is assisted by the teacher providing scaffolding opportunities that support generalization and integration of all the areas of learning. Through the times of open exploration children learn through self-teaching, but they also have guided learning through individual, small-group, and large-group teaching time.
WE BELIEVE IN STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH EACH CHILD'S FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY.
PCBC Day School is committed to a successful home-school connection by establishing a relationship of mutual respect, cooperation, and goal-setting for each child. We strive to have clear and useful communication from the administration and individual classrooms so that our families have a firm understanding of their child's academic progression and the daily school happenings.
