A Note From Our Director
Dear Parents,
The staff of Mountain View Christian School and I would like to take this time to welcome you to our school. We consider it a privilege and an important responsibility to care for and to instruct your child. We are vitally interested in your child’s mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual growth. We plan and coordinate our class activities to give your child experiences in these important areas. We pledge ourselves to quality education and to provide a loving Christian environment for your child.
We welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions. And, above all, your prayers!
Teaming with parents in the education of their children,
Viviana Arce, Director
Educational Policies
Goals
Our goal is to surround each child with a loving environment and involve him in a learning process which will encourage him to develop to his maximum potential.
We promote a Christian atmosphere of respect and loving appreciation for each person and for the wonders of God’s world. We teach God’s Love as revealed through Jesus Christ. For the child, this means not only teaching him that God loves him, but that he too is expected to love others. We are non-denomination Bible-centered in our teaching approach and each staff member is an example of Christ’s Love. Our aim is to develop the whole personality of each child by providing a school experience of lasting value:
Intellectually .. by encouraging an enthusiasm for learning, exploring, and firsthand experiences, our program provides a balanced academic and developmental environment.
Physically ……. by encouraging experiences both teacher led and child initiated which will develop large and small muscle coordination and skill.
Socially ……… by encouraging participation in group activities, getting along with others and developing a feeling of security and belonging.
Spiritually …… by daily time of devotion, Bible learning, character training, and songs included in the day’s activities, giving each child an awareness of God’s love for him.
Philosophy
A child’s early years are his most important. Our endeavor is to make certain that the hours a child spends in school are not wasted, but productive toward the formation of his being and his personality. A carefully supervised and balanced program is offered to assist each child in his or her learning process. A daily class schedule is posted in each class, with approximate times of activities. A copy of the daily schedule is also at the end of this handbook.
Entrance Policies
Admissions
We are equipped, staffed and maintained to provide a preschool program for children whose parents are interested in an enriched program, as well as for parents that work and must be away form home for the day. Children between the ages of 2 years through kindergarten are eligible for admission. We admit students of race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities available to students of the school.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion national or ethnic origin. We are a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, and are licensed by the Community Care Licensing Department of California.
Admission Procedures
All parents are encouraged to set an appointment to tour with the Director, and observe the preschool program during classroom time (if possible). An initial interview will be conducted at that time with the Director. Should the parent decide that the program offered will be beneficial to the child, the following step will be followed:
A registration package will be given and a nonrefundable enrollment & earthquake kit fee paid.
A parent handbook and program information will be covered.
Prior to starting date, all required paperwork will need to be completed, and returned. A current immunization record will need to accompany the forms, and within 30 days of enrollment a physical will need to be obtained. (If a current one is not available.)
Parents are responsible for keeping the school informed of changes (addresses, phone numbers, work numbers, etc.). It is of utmost importance that you as parents or a listed contact be able to be reached at all time. If it happens that records are not kept current, and it is a continual problem to reach parents, discontinuation of care may result.
