Curriculum

Our curriculum is Christian based, encourages independence, teaches school readiness and develops social skills. This will be done through play and activities designed for this purpose. Field trips may be taken during the year.

Children in the 4-year old program will be learning to recognize and write their names, the alphabet, phonics and numbers. There will be seasonal activities and reviews on colors and shapes. We focus on exercises that will develop good reading and writing skills.

In the 3-year old program, the children will learn to recognize their names and begin to write it, the alphabet, counting, colors, shapes and seasonal topics.

Both groups will be learning nursery rhymes and songs as well as Bible verses and Bible stories. There will be show-and-tell each week and many opportunities for social interaction.
