PREKINDERGARTEN

Our Pre-Kindergarten classes prepare children socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually for the kindergarten classroom as well as home environments.

Socially, we hope to foster an environment where children learn how to play fair, how to address relational problems directly, how to respect themselves and others, and how to be part of a group.

Emotionally, our goals are a sense of self-respect, a recognition of respect for others, and consistent efforts made towards an awareness of one’s own feelings.

Cognitively, our program seeks to introduce numbers, letters, shapes, and a basic understanding of parts of our environment and our society. We practice writing skills such as name tracing and journaling. Our creative processes, such as building, dress-up, arts and crafts, and story-telling, also stimulate the brain and develop a capacity for imaginative thinking. Our intentionally creative spaces include an outdoor classroom, where children can let curiosity lead the way. 

Physically, our wide range of activities such as garden play, crafts and art projects, toys, puzzles, climbing and sliding stimulate both large and small muscles, developing both large and small motor skills.

Spiritually, we work to lay a foundational understanding of God’s love as constant, God’s Word as true, and God’s house as safe and welcoming.

To prepare pre-k students to be ready for a kindergarten environment, we create a familiarity with a classroom environment and with numbers and letters. We work with your child to develop an ability for sustained attention, the capability to grasp and relate details in an anecdote, and an ability to listen to and follow directions.

We are a fully state-certified program with flexible and drop-in schedules available. See our Current Rates page.
