We Focus On The Whole Child

Intellectual Development: We love learning! Cognitive development in a preschool classroom is very intentional! We know young children learn best through hands-on materials and the opportunity to explore and discover. Our teachers create play-based lesson plans to meet the needs and interests of each student.

Physical Development: We love moving! The first five years of life are marked by significant physical growth. In preschool we focus on both large muscle (gross motor) and small muscle (fine motor) skills. Gross motor skills are big movements! We climb, stretch, swing and move on our age-appropriate playgrounds twice each day, weather permitting. Additionally, Music and Motor class is provided for each class daily. The curriculum varies, but always focuses on rhythm, coordination and muscle development whether children are crawling, dancing, or moving the giant parachute to the music. Fine motor skills are developed and enhanced as children play with clay, crayons, and manipulatives (for example puzzles and Legos) throughout their day. Our Handwriting Without Tears curriculum is used for all age groups, using fun materials to build strong muscles for making letters.

Spiritual Development: We love Jesus! Families of all faiths are welcome at our school. Our teachers plan for Christian education in their classrooms every day, including a prayer. Preschoolers attend Chapel every week and hear a Bible story, pray and sing to begin to learn about worship. Families are invited to join us, especially for Christmas and Easter Chapel.

Social Development: We love one another! Do you remember the phrase “the best way to make a friend is to be one”? This is a new and important concept for little ones! Our small classes provide children the opportunity to work and play with others. Kind words and gentle hands are essential life lessons, as well as compassion, empathy and working as a team. The social skills we develop in preschool are the foundation for a lifetime of connecting with and caring for others.

Emotional Development: I feel good about me! God made us all alike, and all different. Helping children feel good about themselves and proud of their own abilities is an essential part of our early childhood education. Developing independence and a positive self-worth are necessary life skills. From the toddler learning how to pour her own drink to the five year old proud of printing her name, we strive to meet individual needs in ways that help each student shine. We want each child to develop a strong sense of self, an “I can do it!” attitude, and a love of learning.
