Our Pre-Kindergarten program stretches children’s understanding of language, phonics, and math, while encouraging exploration and discovery through art, nature, science, social studies, music, and movement. We accomplish this through a play- and theme-based curriculum, where children learn to take turns, solve problems, respect differences, and resolve conflicts as they prepare for elementary school. The program establishes a foundation of love and respect for one another which are integrated into our curriculum in all classes. Social skills are enhanced, emphasizing the importance of positive behavior toward others, and spiritual learning is cultivated with songs, Bible stories, and loving others just as Jesus did.
