Prekindergarten

Students in prekindergarten receive a Christ-centered education. With an emphasis on academic and spiritual development, the prekindergarten program is designed to support young students who may not be age-eligible, socially ready, or academically ready for a traditional kindergarten program. Another year in preschool allows students to enter kindergarten in a position of strength. Together, with the family, we prepare our students for success in the classroom and beyond by encouraging a deep understanding of God’s great love for them.

Enrollment:

To enroll a child in prekindergarten, the child must be four years old by September 1st of the current year or receive approval from the principal. All children must be fully toilet trained. A valid birth certificate, proof of immunizations, and a physical are required prior to attending school.

Curriculum:

The prekindergarten program prepares children for kindergarten and elementary success by focusing on a strong academic foundation in core curriculum subjects as well as strengthening each child’s relationship with Jesus. Students pray, hear Bible stories, and sing as part of Christian instruction. Math concepts are introduced using written and hands-on materials. Language arts instruction includes reading readiness, phonics, and handwriting. The teacher uses “The Letter People” to reinforce student knowledge of the alphabet along with their sounds.

Students attend music, library, chapel, and Kinetic Kids each week. Kinetic Kids is a program to aid in the development of basic motor skills important for the achievement of early learning success. Field trips are used to enrich and support curriculum. Science, social studies, and in class art activities are centered on a theme and are incorporated into the language arts curriculum. Special education services are available.
