About MPP

Nurture and Education for Children aged 2 years – 5 years, Monday - Friday | 8:15 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

 

As an outreach of Mandarin Presbyterian Church, our mission is to love children to love Jesus!  We want them to know that God loves them immeasurably and that they are important to Him. 

At MPP, we have a ‘hands on’ approach to learning via exploration, imagination, and experimentation where responsibility and independence are fostered to help build confidence and self-esteem.

About Our Program

  • Our goal is for each child to have fun and learn simultaneously so that this first school experience sets them up for future school success.
  • Classroom time combines teacher directed hands-on activities to build skills as well as child-initiated free-play. 
  • Music, art, cooking, and science experiments enhance and reinforce learning and augment our curriculum.
