Academics

Preschool

Students between 2.5 and 3 years of age Our curriculum centers on positive social skills. Our teachers focus on facilitating social/emotional development including a sense of self, responsibility, and pro-social behavior. In addition, your child will work on mastering the concepts of colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. Daily routines include reinforcing name recognition, as well as focusing on the enrichments of music, art, and science. Christian values are introduced and reinforced with daily Bible stories and weekly visits from our Pastor. We believe learning also involves active firsthand experiences and that play is a child’s natural way of learning. Center time allows that free play time for the children to make decisions and choices on their own. The children work on their gross motor skills while climbing and running in the playground, weather permitting. Our goal in the class is for each child to experience that they are loved, valued, and enjoyed.

Cognitive development in the areas of problem solving and logical thinking as well as language development in the form of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are also reinforced.

In 2016, we added tablets to our classroom which challenge the children with educational games and stories. The children work on their gross motor skills while climbing and running in the playground, weather permitting.
