Preschool Curriculum
Our caring staff provides opportunities for learning through experiences in these areas:
Spiritual Growth: Through Bible stories, prayers and songs, your child will learn about the love of Jesus their Savior. Spiritual values are developed while living and learning together in a Christian environment.
Social and Emotional Development: Children develop a healthy sense of self, and learn to identify a variety of feelings and moods (in themselves and others). They develop empathy for others as they learn how to share and to help others. Throughout the year, they will grow in the ability to follow simple, clear and consistent directions and rules. Language and Early Literacy: Students learn to demonstrate courteous listening behaviors, along with speech development. They will develop an understanding of story elements, structure, and sequencing. Letter names and sounds will be explored.
Physical Development and Health: Children will begin to understand spatial awareness for themselves, others, and their environment. There will be opportunities to participate in games and exercise that enhance physical fitness. Motor control and coordination will be developed through using a variety of age-appropriate tools.
Mathematics: Several mathematical concepts will be introduced, including sorting, pattern recognition, identifying shapes, weight concepts, relational positioning, counting, adding and subtracting.
Creative Development: Musical activities and creative movement will be introduced. A variety of art materials will be available for students to use and explore. Children will begin to differentiate between fantasy and reality.
Social Studies: Children will learn to use words to describe location and direction. They will also participate in classroom celebrations and will be encouraged to participate in improving their environment.
Science: Observations, predictions, and explanations will be discussed. Children will have the opportunity to use scientific equipment such as magnets and scales. They will also learn about weather and seasons, and will begin to describe changing conditions.
