Services
Full-Day Preschool
Our full-day preschool program provides comprehensive early education for children aged 3-6. The curriculum combines structured learning with purposeful play to develop academic readiness and social skills. Certified teachers implement research-based methods that promote cognitive growth and emotional development through hands-on activities and collaborative projects.
Extended Day Care
The extended day program offers flexible care from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with enrichment activities. Children participate in themed specials like art, music, and science while enjoying supervised play. This wrap-around service supports working families while maintaining educational continuity through child-directed learning experiences.
Summer Camp
Our summer camp provides educational fun for preschool through early elementary children. Weekly themes incorporate literacy, STEM activities, and creative arts. The program features field trips, water play, and special guests while maintaining a structured environment that prevents summer learning loss through engaging, developmentally appropriate activities.
Social-Emotional Learning
We integrate Conscious Discipline to develop emotional intelligence and conflict resolution skills. Through daily routines and guided interactions, children learn self-regulation, empathy, and cooperative problem-solving. This approach creates a supportive classroom community where children feel safe to explore and grow at their own pace.
Parent Partnership Program
We collaborate with families as primary educators through regular communication and classroom involvement. Parents participate in orientation sessions, volunteer opportunities, and developmental workshops. This partnership ensures consistent support for each child's unique growth trajectory while respecting family values and cultural backgrounds.

Allison was given the best love and attention from this school and the foundation to do so well in school. She is now in 4th grade and I thank God every day that she went here first

This is the best preschool ever! Both of my children attended (I think we were there for four consecutive years). The teachers were all terrific and provided a safe, loving, educational and nurturing environment for my kiddos. There is a structured educational curriculum, but there is also great care towards the social and emotional development of your children. The Director has years of experience and brings together a great group of teachers to care for and love your children. 5 stars!

Kids want to make friends, have fun, do new and interesting things. Moms want their kids to be socially and academically prepared for Kindergarten. BPCP accomplished all of this with much LOVE.
