Three-year-olds
|
| Our main focus in our three-year-old program
is socialization. For many of the children, this is the first time they will be
interacting with others without a parent present. They will experience being part of
a team by working and playing with other children and adults. Helping your child
become a happy, self-confident and well-adjusted, Christian individual is our ultimate
goal. Much of preschool learning is unseen in regards to so called “paper work”, but that doesn’t mean that learning isn’t taking place. Children, especially young children, learn better through play. We embrace this concept and provide a wide range of hands-on activities that encourage children to experiment with science, math, language, music and art. Blocks, easel painting, toys, dress-up, math manipulatives, water play, games, and role-play are available to the children during class time. During the course of each class, the children will have the opportunity to participate in free choice activities, small group encounters, and whole group teacher-directed experiences. Free choice activities will allow for personal interests and self-expression. Small groups are designed to enhance social skills and provide individual attention. Whole group experiences are intended to develop listening skills and the ability to follow directions, as well as allow the practice of being part of a large group. We believe that spiritual growth is an integral and inseparable part of a child’s well being. If nurtured properly, this spiritual growth occurs naturally in connection with other aspects of a child’s development. Our objective is to provide this spiritual nurturing by way of our day-to-day actions, speech, and Christian curriculum. Remember that all children develop their skills at their own rate and that they are only “little’ once and for such a short time. |
