Decatur Presbyterian Children's Community
Welcome to Decatur Presbyterian Children's Community. We are delighted to offer a safe and caring learning environment where every child is respected, valued, and known by name. DPCC has operated for over 50 years as an outreach ministry of Decatur Presbyterian Church is located at 205 Sycamore Street in Decatur. DPCC was the first church kindergarten in DeKalb County.
Mission
The purposes of DPCC, as established by the Session of Decatur Presbyterian Church are
- To witness the love of God and to nurture respect for the church
- To offer rich opportunities in learning for children between the ages of 3 months and 6 years
- To provide experiences that encourage wholesome habits
- To develop attitudes that enable children to acquire a positive self-concept and to find satisfaction in learning with others and joy in creative efforts
- To build a solid foundation for academic learning
- To maintain a climate in which boys and girls experience and actualize Christian principles.
Philosophy
DPCC operates from the point of view that a child's work is play, and our classroom approach reflects a creative, play-oriented philosophy. Teachers pull from a variety of published curricula to create thematic and age-appropriate units for their classes. Our program is rich in indoor and outdoor play, art, music, literature, science, social studies, reading and math readiness.
