Why Choose MC Preschool?
LEARNER-CENTERED CURRICULUM
Our curriculum utilizes an Integrated-Thematic Approach to teaching where children engage in diverse activities that give them meaningful opportunities to interact and collaborate with their peers and teachers. Our students also engage in STEAM-based activities that include design-thinking and robotics, where they are engaged to ask questions, explore, investigate, discover, problem-solve, create, and innovate.
AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT OF CHILDREN’S PROGRESS
We use an efficient system of monitoring and evaluating student progress based on ongoing assessments. These include anecdotal records of the child’s behavior and daily performance, performance-based and authentic assessments, portfolios, and narrative reports.
STRONG PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE HOME AND THE SCHOOL
The Preschool Parents are true partners in education as they are very much involved when they volunteer to become resource speakers in class, attend regular Parent-Teacher Conferences, participate in activities of the Family Council, and much more. All these generate strong support for the school.
STIMULATING TEACHING-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Our teaching-learning environment includes child-friendly learning areas, natural green spaces, and age-appropriate materials that promote effective communication and collaboration skills, creativity, and critical thinking.
A SPECIAL YEAR-END AND CULMINATING ACTIVITY
The Preschool students present an original Filipino children’s stage play written and directed by the school’s faculty and administrators which highlights the language, cognitive, social-emotional, and physical skills that the children have gained throughout the school year.
PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITIES
We have extensive networking, benchmarking and engagement with local and international schools to advance global competitiveness and academic excellence.
Learning Areas
In the Preschool levels at the Child Study Center (CSC), we see children as true masters of wonder and imagination. These characteristics are what makes them natural creators, inventors, innovators, and problem-solvers. We develop these characteristics through the “design thinking” approach to problem-solving and equipping them with a mindset that encourages them to ask questions, empathize, work together, take risks, try out their ideas, and persevere.

Student Testimonials
What They Say
KLANG ALCANTARA
When I was a little girl, I remember enjoying my pre-school days at the Child Study Center (MC-CSC) because of the cozy pajama-like uniform, the tree house, and Learning Resource Center (LRC). Never did I imagine that Miriam College would be a great part of my life. Â I was a student of the Miriam College from pre-school to college, spending two years in Preschool, seven in Grade School, four in High School, and another four in college. Â Miriam College truly became my second home.
REYNA MABULAY
My education in Miriam College has taught me to appreciate a well-rounded and balanced approach to learning. I’ve learned to value not only the lessons taught within the classroom setting that allow us to grow academically, but also those that we may learn beyond our daily requirements that would create an impact on our individual growth. It has empowered me to develop a more service-oriented and open-minded leadership style through the endless opportunities we get to reach out, interact, and serve with all kinds of people. MCHS holistically develops my being, so that I can be of service to others.
