Preschool Curriculum Objectives & Goals

The preschool curriculum is based on a thematic approach integrating language (verbal, written, spoken, sign) science, math, social skills, and developing gross motor and fine motor skills. The goals of our Christ-centered Preschool Program are to provide children with an opportunity:

• To experience the Christian Community of faith and to
  realize the love of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
• To work and play in a Christian atmosphere with children of their own age.
• To be aware of the daily presence of Christ in their lives.
• To be themselves and develop at their own rate.
• To express themselves through art and play materials freely and constructively.
• To learn to be tolerant, creative, cooperative, imaginative, empathetic, and considerate.
• To learn to be independent: able to solve their own problems and to do things for themselves.
