A Message from the Christ & Holy Trinity Preschool Director

---

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Christ & Holy Trinity Preschool.

For over 50 years, CHT has provided a high-quality, play-based early childhood program for families in the Westport area. We are dedicated to offering a learning environment that values the natural curiosity of childhood and reflects the unique interests and abilities of each child. Together we are a community of educators and families with the shared goal of providing a nurturing and enriching preschool experience for young children.

Our philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and deep respect for each child’s innate desire to understand the world around them and express themselves. We believe each child is an active, capable learner and we provide experiences that promote resilience, efficacy, and cooperation.  Our curriculum utilizes the teaching methods of the Project Approach. Our teachers follow the lead of the children as they explore their questions, research, experiment, represent their ideas and reflect on their discoveries. Through these projects children develop and practice the cognitive and social-emotional skills they will need as life-long learners.

We understand and value the importance of providing young children with play-based learning experiences that stimulate a sense of wonder and embrace their social-emotional development. The teachers at CHT are committed to our shared vision of supporting positive connections and individual growth in each child. We are a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES) and a treasured ministry of Christ & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.  Regardless of a family's faith background or beliefs, all are welcome at CHT.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our Christ & Holy Trinity community!

Warmly,

Dianna Walsh
