Philosophy: "For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven" Matthew 19:34

This is the foundation of our preschool Ministry. Jesus said," Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

 

 

OBJECTIVES:

 

• To provide a Christ-centered environment and a child-centered curriculum for our children.

• To provide a variety of activities to stimulate multiple learning styles and talents.
• To provide an academic balance between the child's spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs.
• To teach the basic foundations of our Christian faith.
• To teach each child that they are special just as God made them.
• To keep an open line of communication between staff and family.
• To love and nurture each child.
• To develop each child's self-confidence
• To reach each child at their particular stage of development and help them be the best they can be.

 

 

CURRICULUM:

 

MOTHER'S DAY OUT (10 MONTHS-2 YEARS):

 

The Mom's Day Out ministry is designed to provide a safe, loving place for children to be while moms get a break. The caretakers will pray for, sing to, read to, play with, and take care of each child's physical needs while they are in the program. They will also monitor play between the children and help foster healthy play between them.

 

 

PRESCHOOL:

 

The basic curriculum will be an integration of the following: Christianity, language development, social skills, gross and fine motor skill development, music and movement, arts/crafts, science, social studies and basic math skills.

 

 

Two Year Olds

 

• The primary focus of the two year olds is socialization.

Three Year Olds

 

• The three-year-old program will move closer to preparing the children for school. Academic knowledge will be introduced in an age-appropriate, hands on manner.
