Nursery class: Students are between 2.5 and 3 years of age. Child/Teacher ratio is 6:1.
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 and his acoustic guitar (a student favorite). 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.
Pre-K class:
Students are 4 - 5 years of age. Child/Teacher ratio is no greater than 10:1.
Our curriculum continues to build on the positive social skills introduced
in the Nursery class while preparing each child for Kindergarten. The children continue to work on recognition of upper and
lower case letters and letter sounds. 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. Daily routines continue
to include the enrichments of music, art, and science. Christian values are included via a daily Bible story and weekly visits
from our Pastor and his acoustic guitar (a student favorite). Center time allows children to continue to interact socially
with their peers and is expanded in this classroom to include computer technology. In 2011, we upgraded our older system
with (2) large Dell Touch Screen computers. 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 while also having the necessary skills to easily transition to Kindergarten.
