Preschool Curriculum

Christian education is an important part of our growing and learning each day. All classes have Bible stories and attend chapel services weekly. Children generally begin the day with free play in one of the educational centers such as housekeeping, dress-up, blocks, educational table games, puzzles, easel painting, play dough and science activities. In the centers, children learn to share as well as to develop coordination and language skills.
