Preschool Curriculum  

 

 

 


Our preschool has a planned curriculum. Each classroom has planned activities geared to the interest and level of that particular age group.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT: Toys and playground equipment are used to develop muscular coordination and control.


BIBLE:
To help children develop a love for God and others. Also, to teach them that Jesus is God’s son and how much He loves them. Spiritual truths are taught through weekly chapels, Bible stories, pictures, flannel graphs, stories, puppets, songs, tapes, videos and a Bible memory verse program.


ART:
Includes easel and finger painting, clay, play dough, crayons, felt pens, chalk, paper, glue, scissors, collage, constructions . . . to stimulate the child's imagination and help him express his feelings and ideas through artistic activities.


MUSIC:
Music appreciation is developed through listening to tapes, CDs, musical games, rhythm instruments, and group singing.


SCIENCE:
Our science program is an active and on-going program that uses magnets, magnifying lenses, prisms, measuring, color paddles, plant and animal life, nature and sensory materials which enhances the curriculum. Science program will also enable making reasonable cause and effect conclusions of the world God has made for us.


GAMES:
Manipulative, problem-solving, matching, sorting, shape and color discrimination, counting materials of varying degrees of difficulty, offer opportunity for decision making, free choice of working alone or interrelating with other children.


LIBRARY:
Books are available to the children to enrich children's experiences and interest.
COOKING - Simple cooking experiences develop many skills and concepts, as well as enriching the vocabulary. It also stimulates conversation and appreciation for group effort.


MATH:
Concepts of how many, more or less, small and large and big and little are introduced. Numerals 0 to 20 will be taught with emphasis on the concept of how many.


LANGUAGE:
We present a very basic instruction on how to print letters both in upper and lower case. Introduction to the phonetic uses of the alphabet will also be taught.


COMPUTERS:
We offer computers with a large variety of skilled programs, which are age appropriate. Since children's perceptual skills mature greatly between the ages of 3 to 5, the computer training is geared to compliment that development.
