Playfactory/Church Relations: History
Playfactory is a day care center for preschool and kindergarten children. Started by the Temple City Christian Church in 1973 as an answer to a need of families in the community, especially single parent families. A non-profit non-sectarian program open to all children of the community. The Playfactory provides tuition assistance for families in financial need; parents are provided opportunities for growth in raising their children; and most important, a warm, loving atmosphere is provided in which each child can play and grow. Parents should contact the School Director for further information and application for tuition assistance.
Philosophy
Playfactory Preschool was established an educational facility to meet the needs of young children in our community. We believe children need a warm, comfortable, non-competitive place to learn about themselves, other people, and the world around them. We believe each child can develop to they're fullest, physical, emotionally, socially, and intellectually, in an atmosphere of love and trust.
Staff
Our teachers are trained in Early Childhood Education. They relate well with children and are skilled in providing the loving but firm guidance necessary for their development. To enhance the program our lead teachers are mentor teachers who train students who are becoming teachers. 9 teachers are on staff with 2 having 20+ years at the Playfactory. We are licensed by the State of California. The State's requirement is 12 students to 1 teacher, our program is 6 students to 1 teacher.
