WVCP has been learning from home for the past couple months due to the COVID19 global pandemic. The Friendly Fish have been receiving video lessons from their teachers and is continuing to maintain relationships with them through regular FaceTime interaction. Additionally, our sweet Fishies are provided with weekly activity packets to keep them busy, and learning, while they are safe at home. The homework packets consist of a variety of different activities, from arts and crafts, sorting, letters, numbers, beginning reading/writing concepts, counting, Bible lessons, and more! The Fishies stay busy sharpening their little minds while we make our way through this uncertain situation. Here at WVCP, we believe that it is important to uphold a healthy balance between challenging our children to grow, while ensuring that we develop, and sustain, a deep love for learning. This perfect balance will then serve as the foundation our children will build upon. West Valley Christian School's slogan is "College prep from preschool," and we truly believe that we can make a lasting impact on the educational success of our preschool children. A joyous, Christ-centered, love for learning starts at WVCP!
