Early Childhood
Our objective in the Early Childhood program is to foster the holistic development of our children in a Christian context across various learning domains—spiritual, social, physical, emotional, and academic. We aim to guide children in becoming independent individuals, equipping them to tackle challenges in their surroundings. By the end of preschool, each child will have honed their listening skills, engaged with meaningful language, and learned to identify colors, sizes, shapes, and textures.
Additionally, children will master the proper way to hold a pencil, print letters and numbers, and recognize their own name. They will also gain an awareness of the world around them. In Kindergarten, children make significant strides both academically and socially. They begin to blossom into emerging readers and build a solid foundation in math as they start their elementary journey. Each child evolves into an independent thinker and a collaborative team player, ready for the next phase of their learning experience. Additionally, they learn to be respectful, responsible, and positive contributors to our school community.
Families who participate in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) will not be charged for participation in the Preschool for All program or the supplemental preschool program. The only payment required for CCAP students is the CCAP co-pay.
