Testimonials

A Jump Start

BPCCC is a superb educational program!!! Our oldest, Justin, is a graduate and while in kindergarten last year, he excelled, especially in reading. We attribute a lot of his increased abilities to BPCCC and their drive to educate their students. Fall of 2009, we eagerly enrolled our youngest, Nicholas. He is currently in the four year old program and we are beginning to see many of the same educational abilities we saw in Justin. BPCCC, we thank you for our children’s jump start.

State awards $1.4M grant to Bristol preschool

BRISTOL — The state has awarded a $1.4 million dollar grant to assist with the Bristol Preschool Child Care Center’s continued renovations and improvements at its new home in the old Jennings Elementary School on Burlington Avenue.

State Rep. Whit Betts, R-Bristol, and state Sen. Henri Martin, R-Bristol, applauded the decision to award the grant. The money will be used to finance the renovations and improvements to the facility’s first floor.

BRISTOL — The old Jennings Elementary School has come back to life with the opening of the new Bristol Preschool Child Care Center facility there.

Shirley Anderson, executive director, said the organization searched for more than 10 years for the right location to provide subsidized, affordable infant-toddler care for the community.

HARTFORD - State Representative Whit Betts (R-78) and State Senator Henri Martin (R-31) applauded the decision to award a $3,250,000 grant to assist with the Bristol Preschool Child Care Center‘s relocation to the former Jennings School.

The funds will be utilized to finance the relocation of the program, along with renovations and improvements to 17,000 square feet of space within the former school building and installation of a playground. Work on the project will reportedly begin this fall.

Tucked behind Bristol’s downtown area is a facility where 150 3- to 4-year-olds spend the year learning, playing and preparing for the next steps of their education.

Bristol Preschool Child Care Center, Inc., located on West Street, has been in existence for 42 years, and its executive director, Shirley Anderson, said she hears time and time again that “it is Bristol’s best kept secret.”

Letters to Parents

A Letter to Parents on Art

What We Do and Why

Art is an important part of our curriculum. Every day, children find a variety of art materials available on our shelves. Drawing, painting, cutting, pasting, and playing with playdough are not only enjoyable but also provide important opportunities for learning. Children express original ideas and feelings, improve their coordination, develop small muscle skills, learn to recognize colors and textures, and develop creativity and pride in their accomplishments by exploring and using art materials.
