Curriculum:

Three Year Old Preschool

The 3-year-old program is designed to prepare children for learning through their experiences. The curriculum is developed around themes such as safety, colors, shapes, and seasonal themes taught in a Christian manner. Children are encouraged to follow directions, develop motor skills, extend their attention span, and expand their socialization skills through organized play. We do not stress academic skills at this age, but we offer exposure to letters, shapes, and numbers. Creativity and self -expression are encouraged through art, music, stories, computers, movement, and play. Our daily Jesus time gives the opportunity for children to learn about God’s love and develop a relationship with Him. Age appropriate field trips and enrichment activities are planned throughout the school year. All students attend music and chapel services each week.

Four Year Old Preschool

The 4-year-old program is designed to meet the needs of the whole child. Curriculum is taught through learning centers based on themed units. Creativity, self-expression, large muscle development and coordination, small muscle dexterity, communication skills and interpersonal relationships are stressed in all areas of the curriculum. “The Letter People” are used to introduce the alphabet and letter sounds. Beginning math concepts are introduced through centers. Simple science lessons and activities give the children the opportunity to explore the world around them.

Each day includes sharing the love of our Lord through Bible stories, music, devotions, and encouraging loving kindness toward one another. Children attend music, chapel, and participate in “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. Age appropriate field trips and enrichment programs are planned to enhance learning.
