Preschool Overview

Beginning School

Ages 2 & 3

 

Our Mission is to provide classical, Christian education that is parent directed, student centered, and powered by passionate educators.








Classical

One of the main aspects of classical education is the Trivium, or three stages of learning.  Students in preschool are in the Grammar Stage, when children are highly receptive to basic facts. At this time in their life, everything is new and exciting. Our preschool program provides safe exploration and encourages curiosity of their world.


Another facet of classical education is holistic learning. Our preschool program is divided up into various topics of study each year. Each week, students will explore an aspect of the world in which they live. Each unit integrates all subject areas; language, science, social studies, Bible, and social skills. The basic facts –or grammar- of the subjects will be taught within each unit. In Math, some topics covered are shapes, sizes, numbers, and counting, In Science, colors, five senses, and patterns will be covered. In Language, upper and lower case letters of the alphabet, short vowel sounds, and pre-writing skills are presented.

Christian
This year, students will hear basic Bible stories, practice biblical characteristics and learn simple prayers. This will all be woven into each of the unit studies, so the idea of faith is present in all aspects just as it should be in our lives.
 
Parent Support
Parenting a preschooler can be joyful and challenging. Our teachers will send home a weekly newsletter offering parenting tips and learning extensions. Parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom to help with daily learning and gain a first hand perspective of your child in a group learning setting. Parent help is crucial for our program to remain low in cost and be successful.
