Pre-School Programs

Two Year Old Program

Our program for two year olds offers a curriculum based on social, sensory, and experimental learning. Using a center-based classroom, each day consists of a balance of active and quiet play. Free play, dramatic play, age appropriate art, music, outside play, and a healthy snack rounds out each morning. Each month children are introduced to a different color and shape that exists in their world. The primary goal of our program is to create a fun preschool experience while learning to get along with others.

Applicants must be 2 years old by September 1st.

Three Year Old Program

The primary goals of the three year old program are to promote positive social growth and development and to foster the growth of a positive self-image in each child in a loving, safe Christian environment. We recognize that each child will enter our program at different levels socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically and academically. We meet each child at his or her beginning level and provide opportunities for each child to grown and mature at his or her individual rate.

Our program provides hands-on experimental opportunities for the children to explore cognitive concepts in the areas of Language and Reading Readiness, Math and Science and Artistic expression and appreciation including fine art, self-expression and music.

Applicants must be 3 years old by September 1st.


Pre Kinder (Four & Five Year Olds) Program

Children in the Pre Kinder classes build on their cognitive and social skills that were learned in the two and three-year old classes. The curriculum is designed to promote the child's total development. Integrated into our units of study are activities and learning experiences that give each child the opportunity to grow in all areas: social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cognitive at their own pace.

Our program boasts a curriculum that is inclusive of Reading Readiness skills, Science and Math, Music and Art appreciation as well as the development of the student's gross and fine motor skills. Our Social Studies unit includes learning to appreciate other cultures. Information is shared about China, Africa, Mexico and other countries that are reflective of our student's family heritage.

Applicants must be 4 years old by September 1st.
