ST. JOHN’S EEC
ICE CREAM SOCIAL & BOOK FAIR
On Sunday May 20th St John’s Early Education Center will celebrate 40 years teaching of teaching French by their beloved “Madame”. Forty years ago St. John’s Preschool, as it had been known , welcomed Madame Barbara Hunecke (Smail) to the staff. She introduced children to the joys of learning another language. “Madame” as her students fondly know her, is still teaching and bringing the love of language to this generation. Her students range from 3 to 5 years of age and are still mesmerized by her exuberant “bon jour”, “le tigre” , “tres bien” and can often be heard singing “Frere Jacques”. We invite all present and future students as well as alumni to the celebration at St. John’s E. E. C., 700 High St., in Worthington, from 2-4 pm. The festivities will go on whether “il pleut” or “il fait chaud”. It will be a wonderful opportunity for all to reminisce. St. John’s will also celebrate receiving the 3 star Step Up To Quality award for the 3rd consecutive year. Ice Cream will be provided as well as an opportunity to visit the classrooms.

About Our Program
preschool activities
St. John's Early Education Center was established in 1964 as an outreach program for St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Worthington, Ohio. The center’s program is based on a belief in the uniqueness of every human being and the goal is to establish a good self-image. We strive to provide quality, loving care for children Three, Four and Five years of age in a trusting environment.
preschool activities
We believe that reaching out to each child where they are at the very moment of entering the program is very important. Children are encouraged to learn and explore at their own speed in areas that interest them. Teachers recognize that children come from different backgrounds and experiences; they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way!
preschool activities
Each of the classrooms provide children many opportunities for mental, physical and emotional growth through a variety of creative experiences. Recognizing that young children learn as they play with materials and share experiences, free play is considered an essential part of the school day as well as routines and planned activities. Our teachers recognize the importance of balanced growth. The schedule is flexible with provisions made to meet the needs of the individual child.
preschool activities
We also offer a young 3’s class beginning in January. It has become quite popular as we are the only school in the area to have a classroom for children who turn 3 by the end of January. It is so much fun to see such little ones coming into their first school experience, so apprehensive and tentative, and watch them blossom and grow. Our teachers are particularly perceptive to the needs of that age group. They provide a trusting environment where children are comfortable and welcome. Spots are limited to a small number of students which allows each child more individualized attention from the teachers. Registration for this class begins in late October.
preschool activities
St. John’s Early Education Program is licensed by the State of Ohio. In addition, we are also one of the first preschools in Central Ohio to attain a 3 Star Step Up to Quality rating. The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services (ODJFS) offer a voluntary rigorous inspection service and grants centers either a one, two or three stars based on their findings. This program, called Step Up To Quality distinguishes one center from another as going above and beyond regulations to create an exceptional preschool program. Our teachers are all well qualified and continue annually to keep their teaching skills and credentials current.
We have been awarded 3 stars for several years. Our preschool has a limited number of spaces available each year and so parents are encouraged to visit the school, please call for an appointment 614-885-2315 (M-F 9a-noon).
