Mission Statement

The purpose of the weekday preschool program is to support the home and extend the ministry of the church by providing biblically based, age-appropriate education for preschoolers. It is the mission of this preschool to share God's love and purpose with both the children and their parents.

Philosophy

A child develops mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to providing biblically based, age-appropriate experiences to allow each child to progress in these areas at their own level ability while enjoying feelings of success. This is primarily done through hands-on activities in learning centers and positive Christ-like role modeling by the staff.

Curriculum

The weekday preschool teachers will be using the biblically based Wee Learn curriculum by Lifeway for daily instruction. Preschoolers are active learners; they learn through their senses. Allowing them to make choices and explore a wide variety of activities facilitates the learning process. Using this curriculum, teachers set up learning center, which contain activities that reinforce the theme for the week or month. Preschoolers are not required to participate in every activity, but are encouraged to choose activities that are of interest. As children choose and experience success in the activities, their sense of worth is enhanced.
