Christ Church Episcopal Preschool educates young children, creates community among school, families, and church, and honors and nurtures children in the Episcopal tradition. We welcome children aged two to five in small classes where all are affirmed as children of God and are inspired and encouraged to become their best selves—socially, emotionally, academically and spiritually.

A Note on Progress

Jennifer Fordham

Progress Reports will be sent home on February 24 and February 25. While we don't have a parent/teacher conference on the calendar, conferences are always encouraged and may be initiated by parents or by the teacher. If there are concerns regarding learning and/or development, we deeply believe in early intervention and talking with our families as soon as possible.  We have extremely knowledgeable and experienced teachers who are experts on all matters of child development, teaching, and learning. And they are always here for you! 

The reality is that most of our children need early intervention services in one or more areas of development. Addressing them now means they will have increased school success preparing them for a lifelong love of learning.  There are times when a teacher's assessment and a parent's assessment differ. This is to be expected and it's important for teachers and parents to both advocate on behalf of the student.  For teachers to accurately assess areas of development, skills must be observed more than once and in various settings. When a child has fully learned the skill, it will be seen both at home and at school. Early childhood educators are usually the first ones to let parents know that they see an area of atypical development. Identification is not a diagnosis, it's just information. Really good teachers, like our teachers at CCEP, understand this and work hard to convey sensitivity and clarity of information. At the forefront is the fear that their communication may not be received in the way it is meant. Please know that all of us at CCEP love and care for your children. Being a good teacher means that we believe in developing healthy relationships where we are partners advocating for what our children and families need. 

Tools like the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, along with teacher and parent assessments and observations, are all important. However, what's most beneficial for the child is when teachers and parents comfortably share their observations, accomplishments, and concerns regularly.
