The teacher/child ratio for the FOURs class is 1:9.  The Episcopal Church policy states that there are to be two staff members at all times regardless of the number of children.  

Children are eligible for enrollment if they are four years old on or before

September 1st.  All children must have a completed set of registration forms and a current South Carolina Certificate of Immunization.  Parents must read and sign an acknowledgement form stating understanding of the ACC policies as declared in the ACC Parents' Handbook.  It is the parents' responsibility to keep all information up to date.

The staff of the Advent Children's Center strives to provide a safe, loving, caring, accepting and nurturing environment where children are able to be themselves and grow.  The Episcopal Church of the Advent provides a facility that is up to date, clean, pleasant and safe. 

The preschool uses a literature based curriculum to accomplish the stated curriculum goals.  The FOURs teachers use the South Carolina Public School Standards for language, math, science, social studies and technology.  They do an exhaustive study of the alphabet including literature, sign language, writing skills and social opportunities.  They read a chapter book at the end of the year and complete a unit pertaining to the book.  The children also participate in chapel, music, Spanish and physical education classes.  The goal of the FOURs teachers is to prepare the children for Kindergarten in a private or public setting.
