Philosophy –
We believe that a quality preschool should have:
• A balance of teacher-directed structured learning, creative expression and child-initiated free play
• Activities that build academic skills at each individual child’s level
• Experiences that are based on children’s interests
• Small class sizes allowing for maximum student comfort and individual attention
• A loving environment fost
ering kindness, respect, and peaceful problem solving
• Also teaching Christian character traits along with Bible lessons and memory verses. Goals –
Provide a balanced program with varied opportunities for learning that develop each child’s interests and abilities in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, music and art. Provide opportunities for children to freely explore and express themselves through play, art, crafts, singing, musical instrument use, dance and drama. Establish a foundation for lifelong learning by encouraging curiosity, question asking, initiative, effort, research, hypothesizing, experimentation, problem solving, perseverance, and a sense of competence. Establish a loving, nurturing environment based on cooperation, respect and problem solving, where all children are valued by all others. Increase each child’s abilities in communication and relationship building, including negotiation skills, compromise, taking a different point of view, showing kindness, and making friends. Provide opportunities for children to learn about the world so they will feel comfortable and confident with their place in it.
