Preschool
Preschool Program
We strive to create an atmosphere of Christian love and understanding, while nurturing each child’s social, emotional, spiritual and academic growth. We provide a safe, nurturing, and stable environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, question and learn. Through a variety of age appropriate activities children develop new skills, confidence and independence. Our curriculum aligns with the California Preschool Learning foundations as they apply to social/emotional development, language and literacy and mathematics. Children learn through teacher directed activities as well as self-chosen activities.
Our Team
Growth
As a benefit of our small class sizes, each of our classes has a continuous focus on the individual growth of each child. We understand that children each develop at their unique pace and that the introduction to a school environment can be a wholly new experience. We strive to meet each child where they are at and to work with them to gain the skills and confidence they need to reach their goals.
