"And Jesus Grew in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and men."
Luke 2:52 NIV
Discovery Zone Preschool (Bed Babies - Kindergarten), is where little ones discover God's LOVE, God's WORD, and God's PLAN. Discovery Zone Preschool Ministeries goes BEYOND childcare to caring for children's physical, spiritual, and social needs; helping parents build a strong spiritual foundation of God's love and TRUTH into their precious little one's lives.
The Preschool Ministry of Philadelphia Baptist Church exists to provide a secure and maturing environment for preschoolers where Biblical truths are taught as a foundation for Christian living and growth. Our goal is to nurture preschoolers and to help them grow just as Jesus grew— mentally (in wisdom), physically (in stature), socially/emotionally (in favor with man, and spiritually (in favor with God). We seek to help preschoolers discover God’s love, God’s Word and God’s plan for them, and to partner with parents to lay a strong spiritual foundation built upon God’s Word.
Wellness Policies
Preschoolers who show signs of illness, such as high temperature, should be kept at home. According to the Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child should not be taken from home when any of the following exists, or if they have had symptoms of the following within the previous 24 hours:
-
Fever
-
Vomiting and/or diarrhea
-
Any of the symptoms of the usual childhood diseases—scarlet fever, measles, mumps, chickenpox, and whooping cough.
-
Common cold—from the onset through one week (green or yellow nasal discharge)
-
Croup
-
Any unexplained rash
-
Any skin infections (boils, ringworm, impetigo)
-
Pink Eye or other infections
-
Thrush
Whenever there is doubt, ask yourself, "Would I want another child with these symptoms to be with my child?"
Our teachers will not give preschoolers medication. If necessary parents may return to the department to administer medication.
If your child becomes ill while in Discovery Zone, you will be notified immediately to come for your child.
