Mission
PebbleStone Creek Preschool is a ministry of StoneRidge Fellowship. It is a nonprofit service whose staff are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating Christian preschool program to families in Sackville, Bedford, and surrounding communities. PebbleStone Creek provides a part day care and education program which meets the needs of children 3 - 5 years of age. Basic Christian values are incorporated into play, teacher direction, and socialization, as children are equipped to make a smooth transition from the home care years to the school years.
PebbleStone Creek also believes in the importance of early literacy for children. We provide stimulating activities and opportunities that encourage the development of necessary skills, which form the groundwork for reading.
Philosophy
PebbleStone Creek believes children develop at their maximum potential in a positive learning environment that enhances all levels of their development through a play experience.
At PebbleStone Creek we value all children as part of God's creation and within that framework believe in fostering the child's natural curiosity, encouraging initiative and creativity in all their endeavours. We believe in nurturing a healthy respect for self, others and God, in partnership with the family.
Facility
PebbleStone Creek offers cheerful, clean and safe, well-equipped playrooms. All rooms are located on the ground floor of StoneRidge Fellowship.
Staff
PebbleStone Creek is staffed by friendly teachers. Our teacher/child ratio of 1 to 10 surpasses Community Services requirements and allows for more individualized attention. Our programs are directed and led by teachers who have been educated in preschool development.
