Q: A Letter from Our Director

Dear Families, Every day I have the pleasure of meeting many prospective families while giving tours, and one of the comments I hear frequently is that Parkway “just feels like family.” I couldn’t agree more! My journey at Parkway began as a mom when I was looking for a Mommy and Me Class. In making friends, I heard about Parkway and their commitment to a Christian education in a loving family environment. I took a tour and was surprised to find how much I felt at home. I immediately enrolled my middle son, and enrolled my youngest son the next year. Our experience at Parkway Christian Preschool was so amazing that my sons have continued their education in our Elementary School. Shortly after we began at Parkway, I was blessed with the opportunity to begin working at the Preschool, where teamwork and friendship are fostered both in the classroom and among the staff. Parkway Christian Preschool’s staff stays rooted in the knowledge that we are here to provide our students with a well-rounded, Christian start to their educational journey. Throughout my journey at Parkway, I have worn many hats. From starting out in our Parent Teacher Organization, to teaching in the classroom, and now serving as Director, one thing remains same: our priority is to create a community among our students, parents, staff, and the church while giving each child the educational building blocks needed for a successful future. I hope that you will fall in love with Parkway and all that it has to offer-- just like I did. Our family welcomes you and your family. Thank you so much for visiting our website and taking an interest in our wonderful school. Please call the Preschool office with any questions that you may have, or schedule a tour and come see what we’re all about! In His Service, Jennifer Cardona Director Parkway Christian Preschool

Question 2

Program Overview

Accepted Answer

Parkway Christian Preschool has been providing quality care in a loving environment for over 50 years. We are a fully licensed preschool (license #45839), and we follow all of the regulations set by the Department of Children and Families of Broward County. 
 
Our Parkway Christian Preschool program is based on Christian ideals and values, and encompasses the total development of the child. The Christian environment increases a child’s awareness of God’s love and fulfills the child’s emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs. We encourage social development with peers as well as building on adult relationships.
 
Our program promotes the child’s development of good self image and teaches the children to treat each other with love and kindness. We strive to build confidence, responsibility, and independence as we work to develop the child’s visual, auditory, and perceptual skills. All of these elements provide experiences that are the building blocks for future learning.

Question 6

Weekly Specials

Accepted Answer

Chapel:
Each week, our preschool students attend Chapel. Within the service, we pray, sing, collect an offering and hear a short message. Our messages are Bible-based and our goal is to share classic Bible stories with the children in order to teach them that God loves them and cares for them today and always.

Computers:
During Computer Class, each child has use of his/her own computer station and set of headphones. The Computer Teacher provides a well-supervised program in which students play educational computer games and are introduced to the fundamentals of computer technology in an age-appropriate manner.

Music:
Through musical application, the students practice skills and concepts that have been introduced in the classroom. Every class incorporates sign language, participation skills, steady beat, following directions, inner voice, call and response, and movement that corresponds with each class's developmental level. The children also learn to sing songs that they perform at various musical programs throughout the year.

Spanish:
The Spanish program is designed to introduce our students to a second language. This is done through the use of songs and games, with emphasis on the basics such as colors, numbers, greetings, and theme related vocabulary words.

Physical Education:
The P.E. program allows our 3-day and 5-day students to participate in developmentally appropriate activities that target their fine and gross motor skills. Children have the opportunity to engage in a fun-based program that is designed to promote health and nutrition and encourages them to try new concepts such as cooperative play and exploration.

"Enrolling our oldest daughter in Parkway Christian Preschool was one of the best decisions we have made for her educational future. Having our son start at Parkway this year was one of the easiest decisions we've made for him and we are looking forward to the day their little sister will start going to class too. Parkway Christian Preschool prepares the kids for success in their school careers in a loving environment. Every aspect of the school, from the great teachers and amazing office staff, is welcoming and supportive to every family that is enrolled. They create so many different ways to interact and get involved during the school year. Thank you for Parkway Christian Preschool and everything that it represents."
