Hand in Hand Purpose
The Preschool is an outreach of First Baptist Church of Geneva providing a service to families in our neighboring communities. A caring Christian environment is created at Hand in Hand Christian Preschool where children develop emotionally, intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially.
Hand in Hand Goal
The Preschool's goal is to enhance each child's emotional well being and self-esteem, while stimulating mental growth. A balanced program is provided involving exploration and discovery in group and individual settings. The teaching staff strives to teach the values of the Christian faith to the children through guided conversations, spontaneous teachable moments, Bible stories, and songs. The teachers pray with the children and model Christian attitudes and outlooks through their daily classroom activities.
