HOW YOU CAN HELP
The curriculum is carefully designed to be intellectually challenging and exciting. Students actively explore subjects such as art, music, science, and constructive play while developing their visual, motor, and pre-reading skills. The Coal Pit staff and faculty are committed to meeting our children’s specific educational needs.
The Center, which is funded almost entirely by private gifts, donations, grants, and subsidized tuition primarily serves three-, four- and five-year-old children from the Lakeside and Glen Allen areas of Henrico County. These children ordinarily would not receive the benefits of a preschool experience.
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Each session includes educational and socialization activities, concluding with a nutritious lunch. Students are given a chance to explore the areas of music, science, art, and constructive play while developing their visual, motor, and pre-reading skills.
THE COAL PIT PHILOSOPHY
The founders of Coal Pit Learning Center believed that providing low income children with essential social, emotional, and academic skills would give them the confidence and capabilities needed to excel in school, thus enabling them ultimately to enter the work force competitively and to escape from or avoid the cycle of poverty. The central focus of the Coal Pit program is building a positive concept of self in each and every child, based upon the children’s actual achievements in the program. Increased self-control and a positive approach toward learning demonstrate the children’s improved attitude toward life in general as they progress through the program.
