Our Mission and Vision

Beverley Hills Church Preschool is a place where children, parents, teachers and others come together to create a trusting, secure environment that values growth and learning, that is playful and challenging, that encourages creativity, risk-taking and taking responsibility for ourselves and our community. We are a place dedicated to the nurturing of young children in a safe, positive atmosphere, one in which all children and their parents may grow, learn and feel good about themselves.

Inspiration from the Reggio Emilia Approach

As a natural outgrowth of our communal values and our beliefs in the capabilities of young children, we have had numerous learning encounters over the past decade with the innovative approach to early childhood education found in the public preschools of Reggio Emilia, a community in Northern Italy. Over time, we have become increasingly inspired by the methods, structures and philosophical underpinnings that give such stunning vitality and strength to the Reggio Approach. As a result, the influences of Reggio Emilia are seen more and more in our classroom environments and in our whole community’s existence.
