Great Preschool Programs

I recently visited the Coast Episcopal School in Pass Christian,

Mississippi. I was amazed at the preschool program that they provide

for 3-5 year-old children. Several benefactors had donated money and

helped build an amazing little preschool building. The playground was

huge with vegetable gardens (planted by the children) and many

engaging equipment experiences. But, the most impressive thing was how

developmentally appropriate and wonderful the entire program was

organized. The teachers were providing a nurturing, skill-based and

hands-on program. It was a joy to watch. I was overcome with the

feeling that all preschool children deserve this type of support prior
