Pre-Kindergarten Classes for 4 & 5 year olds (children who are 4 before September 1st) Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays Morning Class is 8:30 - 11:00am Afternoon Class is 12;30 - 3:00pm Class size is limited to 15 children. The pre-kindergarten curriculum helps the child learn to master how to print their first name.  Children are introduced to learning to write the capital and lower case letters as they lear to name the letters of the alphabet during the "Letter of the Week" activities.
Our major  emphasis and goal within the preschool is to provide a Christian, loving, interesting environment for three, four & five year olds. Each day is structured around four major "times": Free Play Time, Circle Time, Bible Story Time and Snack Time.   During Bible Story Time, children will hear a Bible story about Jesus' life or special stories from the New Testament. Parents are informed of the Bible story and any additional themes each week. Free Play time provides children with an opportunity to choose what they would like to do each day. We emphasize learning through play during this time through these areas:      Sensory Table Area      Blocks and Gross Motor Area  Creative Arts Area         Dramatic Play Area  Fine Motor Area            Reading Area
	In addition, structured learning time is provided through Circle Time. This is a Special time where children learn many songs and verses. They hear flannelgraph stories and learn new cognitive lessons. Mrs. Karen introduces songs and movement activites to music. Children also participate in calendar activities that assist them in recognizing and ordering numerals. A nutritious snack is provided each school day. Parents voluntarily bring a nutruitious snack for their child and the other children on a rotating calendar basis. At the end of the snack, a book is read to the children. Daily reading to children is very important to help a child build vocabulary and pre-reading readiness skills.
