Preschool

Preschool is available to children 1 year of age (by Sept. 1st of the current year) through 5 years of age. Academically our preschool offers a variety of developmentally appropriate learning center activities which include art, books, blocks, puzzles, and other hands on manipulatives, music and dramatic play.

Social skills are developed through sharing, turn taking, thinking, reasoning and problem solving. We use the Wee Learn Curriculum with all age groups and we also use Handwriting Without Tears with our 3 and 4 year olds. We have a weekly Bible story and our 2, 3 and 4 year old classes attend chapel weekly. The children are provided with structured activities and time for free choice. Our preschool day maintains a balance between active and quiet activities.
