        "excerpt": " Marin Formative Christian Preschool About MFCP Our Staff Admissions Parents Contact Us About MFCP Our Staff Admissions Parents Contact Us An Introduction Our Space Philosophy Curriculum Daily Routine Location An Introduction SCROLL DOWN An Introduction We are Marin Formative Christian Preschool Allow us to introduce ourselves... We are Marin Formative Christian Preschool. We love our community and work hard to serve families by providing a safe, secure, and creatively prepared learning environment for children. Our desire is to prepare children for a lifelong journey of social, emotional, spiritual, physical, and cognitive growth through simple instruction, example and with loving care. Marin Formative Christian Preschool, licensed on November 5, 1969, was started as an outreach to the Lucas Valley community by the members of the Lucas Valley Community Church (now Hillside Church). More than 50 years later, it continues to serve the children and families of the local neighborhoods as well as commuters. Marin Formative Christian Preschool now offers an enriching, developmentally appropriate, play-based morning preschool program, as well as full-day child care in a fun, safe, rich environment for children ages 18 months - 5 years old. Our school provides children with avenues for discovery and learning through a play-based environment. MFCP also caters to the spiritual development of young children. Throughout the week, children learn about a loving God and His Son, Jesus, who welcomes, loves, and cherishes all people. Children participate in interactive Bible stories and they learn fun songs to help them remember the stories, give thanks during meals, participate in short daily devotions, and learn that God listens to them and loves them. Children are taught to respect their likenesses and differences and the spiritual beliefs and cultural practices of others. In all of this, we seek to provide helpful guidance and tools that will give children a solid foundation to enjoy Kindergarten, have future school success, and make good life choices. Our Space Our Space   Philosophy Philosophy Our Educational Philosophy Marin Formative Christian Preschool offers a high quality play-based preschool program that educates young children by incorporating the best ideas from a variety of early childhood educational practices and philosophies. It is from this knowledge and understanding of what is best for engaging children in learning through play that we create an environment and curriculum that actively involves the whole child. Our Mission is to provide a nurturing, loving, intentional, play-based environment that fosters the spiritual development, growth, and well-being of young children, preparing them to be lifelong learners. Our Goals: We aim to guide children in holistic development that addresses all areas: cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical. We encourage children to learn to socialize, learn the vocabulary of feelings, handle conflicts with peers, and learn to take turns. We provide a safe space for them to explore different scenarios and outcomes, building resilience and emotional intelligence. We seek to help children boost their creativity and imagination. We support the children’s learning in a way that makes it enjoyable and leads them toward a lifelong love of learning. We assist children in the development of physical coordination, including both gross and fine motor skills. We help children develop executive functioning skills such as problem-solving, self-regulation, following instructions, and enhancing memory through games and sequencing. We allow children to learn at their own pace according to their interests, accommodating their various learning styles. We “follow the child.” Marin Formative Christian Preschool blends different educational philosophies and practices throughout our program. We group the children by age to specifically approach their developmental needs. Care is given to each age group to promote awareness and responsibility for self, family, friends, community, the environment, different cultures, and the development of character. In all this we seek to help families meet the challenges of raising their children. For more information on the benefits of a play based approach see the following articles: Play based learning overview (PDF) Play Based Learning FAQs Curriculum Curriculum Curriculum Our curriculum strives to foster the growth of each individual child’s developmental milestones through inter-connected activities.  A theme or project is used as a framework to thoroughly prepare the learning environment and organize a diverse curriculum that facilitates learning in the following areas: Large Motor skills – Balancing, throwing and catching balls, riding bikes, climbing, skipping, movement for body awareness Small Motor Skills – Use of manipulative items, puzzles, cutting, gluing, drawing, sewing, play dough Language Arts – Children’s literatur",
