The leadership at SCP firmly believes in the innate capacity for children to develop and fulfill their intellectual potential and become wholesome, relevant, well-rounded, and competent individuals.

SCP focuses on providing an atmosphere where learning is fun and exciting while encouraging children to take advantage of new learning experiences. The preschool curriculum is designed to develop a positive self-image through a well-planned and carefully balanced early childhood education program. The curriculum includes language development, ethnic studies, reading readiness, dance, music, science, cooking, arts, crafts, bible stories, and social studies. SCP emphasizes interactive learning and creative expression.

Three- to five-year-old students created the artwork on display. They used drawing and painting skills along with different techniques like cutting, peeling, tearing, sponging, twisting, and gluing to create artwork that reflects their appreciation for nature, their family and friends, and for all the abundance life provides. Through this experience, the students use their imagination and creativity to express gratitude and joy.
