About Our Preschool

Preschool Photo

Teaching Philosophy

Our teaching team concentrates on helping children develop spiritually, socially, intellectually, and emotionally. This is accomplished through multiple intelligence (Howard Gardner- Frames of Mind 1983) lesson plans, believing that each child develops and learns in their own unique manner.  All children can learn, but maybe not on the same day and not in the same way.

All students are taught age appropriate Biblical truths to help them begin their journey with Jesus.  We use a non-denominational, Christian based curriculum to emphasize the teachings of Jesus and how they affect the children’s daily lives. We want to plant the seed of faith that we hope will continue to grow long after your child leaves Preschool.

Typical Day

Children transition between many educational activities throughout their day with guided teacher assistance. Our learning atmosphere depends on personal interaction, education materials, and large/small motor play equipment.

  • Classroom Curriculum & Goals

    In PreK 4, we provide a loving, fun and creative environment where the children learn about and experience the love of Jesus! Students are introduced to the alphabet through stories, hands-on activities, and letter writing practice. We also learn more about numbers, patterns, colors and shapes. The development of fine and gross motor skills is a primary focus through hands-on sensory activities as well as “big room" and outside play. The teachers provide lots of time for socializing with peers, learning how to manage conflicts with words and working on developmentally appropriate self-help skills. Students also get to work on colorful hands-on art projects centered around different seasons and holidays. Finally, we share monthly Bible stories about God and Jesus in fun and interactive ways to make it a meaningful and enjoyable experience for the students.

Meet Laurie

I am a military wife (two of my children were born in Japan) who was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom until my youngest child was in Kindergarten. My husband, Anthony (who goes by “Mike”), is working as an Air Force Recruiter. We are proud parents to Nate – 15, Eliana – 12, Ian – 11, and Gavi – 8. I am currently in my 3rd year of teaching PM Kindergarten at Robinson Township Christian School. The Lord has given me a passion for working with children from a very young age and it truly gives me such joy to be able to do so. I am super excited about being able to serve here at St. Philips! I hope God’s love and light will shine through me as we work together to raise up children who love the Lord.

Meet Clair

I serve as a Co-Director of Children’s Ministry here at St. Philip’s. My family and I have been attending since August of 2022; my husband, Philip, and I found St. Philip’s after moving from the Philadelphia area where I taught second grade at a small Christian school. We have two children–Noelle and Philip Jr.–and a mini goldendoodle named Ginger. You might find us strolling around the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden or searching for a Korean restaurant to call our favorite. I pray that God will work in and through our Children’s Ministry to show young ones and their families the wonders of His marvelous love, both within our church and throughout the community.

Ministry Intern

Meet Amaris

What is your role at St. Philip’s?
I am the ministry intern. I get to have my hand in a lot of the ministries, from the youth to worship to administrative work and social media. I get to serve in so many different capacities and ministries.

How did you end up here?
I was in a 3 month discipleship program called Unaltered where I lived in Darlington, PA on a place called Prayer Mountain. Through that program, I was connected with Jade and given a summer internship on the worship team. Through that, I was able to help in numerous other ministries. StP then decided to take me on for a year as their ministry intern.

What is your goal/prayer/hope for the work you do serving St. Philip’s and the community?
Coming to St. Philip’s, one of my goals has been to further find the direction the Lord wants me to go in ministry. The Lord has already grown me as a worship leader and is consistently changing my heart towards serving others. I hope to love this community well and serve wherever there is a need. My prayer is that I’m continually given opportunities to say yes and honor the Lord and the church through serving and loving those around me.

What personal items (families, hobbies, quirks) would you like to share with the world, if any?
One of my goals in life is to own a thrift store. Thrifting, fashion and clothing have always been things that I loved and am passionate about. I believe it would be a great opportunity to minister to others and love on whatever community I land in well. It’s something I could talk about for ages. Next time you see me, ask me about it!
