In this episode, PCAP director Harley Tuttle shares highlights from the fall preschool program during Thanksgiving break. She discusses moments of gratitude, new friendships, and children’s excitement about learning.

Harley describes how teachers use a Christ-centered foundation—daily prayer, Bible stories, and intentional conversations—to help children notice God in creation and practice caring for one another. She gives examples like a gratitude wheel and a child asking classmates to pray for a sibling.

The episode also explores intentional, play-based teaching: learning centers, provocations that provoke curiosity, early literacy and numeracy skills, and rich socio-dramatic play. Harley emphasizes social-emotional growth, problem-solving, and preparing older preschoolers for kindergarten with confidence and practical skills.

She closes by expressing thanks for the committed teaching team, preschool families, and joyful students, noting the program’s recent recognition and praying a blessing over the community.
