PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Center provides a variety of activities that are age-appropriate. All classes will have a daily routine that will include times for active and quiet , group and independent, as well as indoor and outdoor experiences.  The following is a summary of what your child is taught at each age level.

Your two-year old will experience a loving, nurturing, non-academic day that focuses on his/her basic growth and development.  A variety of activities are provided to help your child become more aware of the world God created, to help him/her understand that he/she is loved and to acclimate him/her to a classroom setting.

Your three-year old will continue to develop socialization and language skills as he/she plays reading readiness games that teach classifying, sorting, discriminating and labeling objects. We use a variety of art materials to help develop your child's creativity and prepare him/her for writing.

Your four-year old will expand the skills he/she developed in the three-year old program.  A greater emphasis will be placed on letter recognition/sounds through the use of the ACSI curriculum. Children demonstrating a readiness for reading will be encouraged to do so. Number recognition is taught through the Harcourt Brace curriculum.

Your Kindergartener will be prepared for entrance into first grade.  The Super Kids reading program makes learning to read an exciting adventure.  Most children will be reading simple books within a few months. Your child will be guided in developing writing skills. We use Addison Wesley math books as the major component of the math curriculum and use a variety of hands-on manipulative for reinforcement.

All children will be allowed to play in learning centers at various times through-out the day. These experiences provide opportunities for problem solving, socialization, language, development and proper expression of emotions. Remember: Play is a child's work.

We teach Biblical ideas through weekly Bible stories, Bible verses, and Chapel.  Our emphasis on Bible teaching is designed to lay a solid foundation for further spiritual development.
