CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
The 3 year old programs
The focus of the 3 year old programs is separation from parents, social interaction, sharing, taking turns, transitioning between activities, independence, following directions, small motor development, large motor development, beginning perceptual and conceptual development (letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc.) and language development. All classes are for children who love learning through play while having fun in a loving Christian environment.
Young 3′s Program
M/W/F AM (Dolphins) or T/Th AM (Starfish)
Our Tuesday/Thursday or Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes are designed for the younger child turning 3 years old between September 1st and December 31st or who might benefit from a smaller class and a more intimate preschool experience. The Tuesday/Thursday schedule gently introduces preschool to your child, while the Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule invites familiarity and routine for your child to adjust a little bit faster to preschool. The class generally accommodates only 8 children and follows the 3-year old curriculum in content and pace.
Main 3′s Program
M/W/F AM (Sea Turtles) or M/W/F PM (Angelfish);
T/Th AM (Sea Horses) or T/Th PM (Whales)
These classes are for children who are 3 years old before September 1st. The Tuesday/Thursday schedule gently introduces preschool to your child. If your child is actively involved in outside sports, gymnastics or playgroups – this is the class for you. The 5-day span from Thursday to Tuesday allows for a longer weekend and extra curricular activities. The Monday-Wednesday-Friday patterned time schedule helps children adjust quicker to preschool while allowing more time during the week for learning and fun!
The Young 4 year old program
These programs continue the “learning while having fun” focus with more hands-on experiences through perceptual and conceptual development, large and small motor skills, observation skills and continued personal and social development. These programs guide your child’s learning through exploration, discovery, art and play. Activities include math, science, language arts, music, spiritual enrichment and art. We offer many experiences that stimulate children’s curiosity.
M/W/F AM (Monkeys)
The young 4′s program is similar in curriculum and content to the 3-day Pre-K class, but at a more relaxed pace. The young 4′s class offers a warm and inviting environment for children who are turning 4 between September 1st and December 31st. The morning class is a more intimate environment (class size approximately 9 students), while the afternoon class provides a larger classroom experience.
The Pre-Kindergarten Programs
The Pre-Kindergarten classes are for children who are in their last year of preschool before entering Kindergarten. The classes emphasize the creative process of learning through hands-on experiences in science, math and language arts. The children play and experiment with actual objects: holding, touching, comparing, graphing, drawing and cutting. The children explore the world around them in many ways. These comprehensive Kindergarten readiness programs concentrate on whole child development. These classes are for children turning 4 before September 1st.
3-Day Pre-Kindergarten Program
M/W/F AM (Birds) or M/W/F PM (Bees);
T/W/Th AM (Butterflies)
The (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday) midweek class is ideal for children (and parents) who love a long weekend! This class is structured to have three consecutive days of preschool to form a continuity of learning. The alternating schedule (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) is designed for children who may enjoy outside activities in the middle of the week.
4-Day Pre-Kindergarten Program
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday PM (Tigers)
The 4-day per week program provides an alternative to the 3-day and 5-day schedule. These students will be in class with the 5-Day students Monday through Thursday.
5-Day Pre-Kindergarten Program
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday AM (Lions)
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday PM (Tigers)
This 5-day per week program prepares your child for a 5-day Kindergarten schedule. It provides additional time each week for your child to experience even more science, math and language arts before entering Kindergarten. This continuity of coming to preschool every day enhances the relationship between teacher and student.
