Curriculum consists of monthly learning units, which are appropriate to the development level of the various age groups as well as individual children. These units provide a well-rounded and progressive learning experience for each child. Learning centers, which correspond with these areas are available to each child as an important part of the daily schedule. Each child will be encouraged to begin a project and to complete it.
Spiritual development is encouraged in ways that are meaningful to the child. Daily Christian Education activities (prayer, songs, stories, projects, etc.) are incorporated within the daily schedule. In addition, all classes will visit the Sanctuary once a month for “Kid Talk” with a Pastor or member of the pastoral staff.
Also included within the daily schedule are enrichment programs, which coordinate with classroom activities and learning topics. The Pint Size P. E. Program emphasizes gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and spatial/body awareness. The Music Enrichment Program provides the basics in rhythm and beat, and music appreciation for the classics through modern children’s music. Lunch Bunch is an optional program designed to provide a social atmosphere for the children enrolled in the progam. Lunch is parent provided. Lunch Bunch is offered on Mondays and Wednesdays only and the childen may attend either one day or both. Students must be registered separately and there is an additional fee.
Parent Orientation, open house, conferences, and several other events are planned to directly involve parents. A Preschool Board is composed of interested parents and a Room Parent is designated from each class. A developmental profile and health screening is provided during the year to insure the well being of each child.
Curriculum Content
The curriculum content for the Mini 5's is the same as for the Mini 4's, however, it is specifically designed to attend to and provide the older student with challenges appropriate to their age and development.
Note: In terms of readiness, there is no advantage given to the child who attends a four day versus three day four year old program. Each is designed to prepare a child with the necessary skills to be successful at the next educational level.
