Our Goals
|
|
Our school is a supplement to the home and a
place where the young child can feel cared for, protected, and secure. A
stimulating environment for learning is created, an environment in which
the child has an opportunity to develop a sense of achievement and self-worth.
Sharing with others and caring for them is emphasized and encouraged.
The relationship between child and teacher is one of loving acceptance.
Respect for others is carefully nurtured.

Classes
|
|
Classes are offered for 2, 3 and 4-year-old children. Children who have
reached the appropriate birthday by September 30 of
the current year are eligible to enroll.
2-year-old children may attend two mornings; 2 1/2-year-olds may attend two or three mornings; 3-year-old children may attend
two or three mornings; and 4-year-olds may attend three or five
mornings per week.

Curriculum
|
|
Ample time is provided for directed free play in which children choose
the activity in which they wish to participate. Social skills such as
sharing, taking turns, and getting along with others are stressed.
Opportunities are provided for the children to express themselves
creatively in play, art, drama, and rhythms.
The curriculum is designed to develop the visual and auditory skills
necessary for a firm foundation in reading and number readiness. A
well-planned curriculum leads children into a wide range of subject matter
that challenges their capabilities and allows them opportunities to discover
and explore.

Spiritual Development
|
|
Christian nurture occurs in daily experiences in the classroom.
Children learn forgiveness by being forgiven; they learn trust by finding
adults to be trustworthy and fair; and they learn God's love through
persons who are loving and accepting.
Prayers before snack are learned in each class. The four-year-old
classes attend a regular Chapel service led by the director and the
pastor. Chapel contributes to the children's understanding of themselves
as a part of God's world. When chapel is held, everyone in the group
participates without exception.
