Early Childhood

EARLY CHILDHOOD

We offer Preschool (3’s), Pre-kindergarten (4’s) and Kindergarten classes. Our mission is to share the love of Jesus to the children and their parents. We strive to provide a loving and caring environment for the children where they can develop spiritually, emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively.

The teachers provide an environment that is warm and nurturing and also challenging where the children can develop the necessary readiness skills for Kindergarten and First Grade.

Our curriculum includes religion – hearing and experiencing Jesus love; language arts; hands on math- counting, patterning, beginning addition and subtraction and numeral recognition; and theme (social studies and science) related arts, crafts and music. Children begin to develop pre-literacy skills that provide a sound foundation for phonics and begin the reading process.

Class sizes are limited to 20 students (3’s and 4’s) with a teacher and full-time aide.

Kindergarten class size is 24 students with a teacher and full-time aide.
