Curriculum
We believe that young children learn best by active learning.  We provide this type of learning while incorporating Phonics skills which are presented using the ABeka curriculum and the exciting program, Land of the Letter People.  We present Math skills using a hands-on approach to learning and the ABeka curriculum.  Your child will gain a love for learning and a solid foundation in phonics and math.

Preschool (3 and 4 year olds)
We strive to prepare children socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively for kindergarten.  We endeavor to offer your child a positive school experience.  We offer all subject areas including music, art, and Physical Education. 

We believe literacy is an important aspect of education.  The ABeka and the Land of the Letter People curriculum are excellent resources in language development and introducing preschoolers to the alphabet and their phonetic sounds.  The ABeka curriculum also includes instruction in phonics blends and one vowel words.  However, we allow the children to learn at their individual levels and will only proceed when the child is ready.  Math skills such as number recognition, counting, sequencing, and patterns are taught using manipulatives and hands on activities.  The ABeka curriculum also incorporates fine motor skills like writing and cutting. The children have opportunities to develop their social and cognitive skills while interacting in the learning center areas of blocks, home living, manipulatives, books, art, computer, math, science, and listening.  We use the ABeka flashcards for our Bible and verses that are taught are from the King James Version.
