Curriculum Focus

“It is our goal to reach out to families in Christian love, creating an environment where children feel secure, develop a sense of self-worth, and confidently meet new challenges.”

A Day in PreK

Learning Through Play, Faith & Discovery

Our developmentally-centered approach balances child-initiated exploration with teacher-guided activities. Every day is structured to bring warmth, wonder, and growth.

Jesus Time

Each day begins with faith. Children learn to live more like Jesus through age-appropriate Bible stories, songs, and meaningful conversations about God’s love.

Large-Motor Play

Kids develop physical skills and confidence through active play in our gym and on the playground, because growing bodies need room to move!

Music Time

Singing, playing instruments, and exploring different music styles helps children develop language, coordination, and a lifelong love of music.

Story Time

We foster a deep love of reading through shared stories and discussion, building vocabulary, listening skills, and early literacy foundations.

Snack Time

More than just a break, snack time builds community. Children practice table manners, sharing, and the art of good conversation with friends.

Center Time

Learning centers invite children to explore on their own, from art and building blocks to sensory tables and free-play. Curiosity leads the way!

In-House Field Trips

Community helpers of all kinds will often visit our classroom, bringing the world to our students in a safe, familiar setting.

And So Much More!

Every day brings something new. Our PreK teacher thoughtfully plans enriching activities that spark joy, build skills, and prepare hearts and minds for kindergarten.
