Our Program
Trinity is excited to be a part of each child’s life! Preschool is their first step of a life-long journey toward learning and growth. Our goal is to provide a quality school and extended care program in a joyful and loving environment.
Our purpose is to instill a strong spiritual, intellectual, emotional and social framework for living. This foundation will prepare children for more formal education later in their lives. Most importantly, we believe that children need to have a positive self-concept and know that God loves them unconditionally!
Our well-balanced morning program is developed to meet the individual needs of children as they learn to relate to one another in social skills based upon a Christian value system. Children learn self-respect as well as respect for others. We work to develop the whole child by discovery in a stimulating and fun, yet professional and organized classroom. There is a balance of structure and choices for your child built into our curriculum on a daily basis.
Research shows that “high-quality early learning and care programs with effective educators can improve children’s readiness and school success, with higher test scores, better attendance, less grade retention and long term benefits in school completion and lifetime earnings.” – Early Learning Quality Improvement System Advisory Committee 2010 Final Report (www.preschoolcalifornia.org).

Extended Care
The school, with extended care, is open from 7:30am till 6:00pm. At Trinity we offer extended care before and after school. We open at 7:30am daily so your child can get some play time in before school starts at 9:00am. Our afternoon extended care begins at noon. The first hour is lunch and playtime on the playground. Or for even more fun we have optional Special Classes on campus during this hour. These are classes you can sign your child up for to further enrich your child’s preschool experience. We offer gymnastics, Spanish, rhythm and movement, and karate at a minimal fee that is paid to the instructor. At 1:00 we have quiet storybook time for the children to relax their bodies while using their imaginations to enjoy the stories being read to them. We also offer a 2-hour quiet nap room for the kids who require sleep. Our goal for the rest of the day is to provide the right mix of stimulation and creative play. Our fun, child-engaging curriculum includes art, science, math, music, cooking and large muscle exercise.
SPECIAL CLASSES
Camp Trinity
Camp Trinity is the place to be this summer!! Your child will experience a genuine camping experience on our beautiful campus. We will begin and end our days sitting around a campfire telling stories and singing songs. In between there will be arts and crafts, face painting, sprinkler fun, circle times, animals to learn about from Wild Care, all camp snacks at the picnic tables, s’mores, and much more! We have planned camp with you and your children in mind.
You have the option to sign up for camp by the day or the week to allow more flexibility in your schedule. Our extended care that begins at 12:00pm is as flexible as always. You can choose the time you pick your child up on a daily basis to allow you to get your errands and appointments taken care of while your kids are having fun at camp. Whatever time they are here they will have an experience they’ll never forget! This year your child will receive a free Camp Trinity t-shirt and they will earn a badge each week that they attend you can iron onto their shirt!
Your child is going to love it here – and feel loved here!
