Our focus is getting to know God, especially in the person of Jesus. Through dramatic play, songs, and Scripture stories, children learn about the life of Jesus. Children learn that God is the One who made them and loves them and they are God’s child. Children learn traditional prayers, but talking to Jesus in their own words is emphasized.
Language Arts/Reading
Language Arts/Reading![]()
Children engage in skill based activities that are meant to inspire young learners to use their own creativity and imagination as they learn about letters and sounds. The children will be involved in hands-on activities that help to develop language skills while encouraging social skills and cooperative learning. We explore letters and letter sounds through stories, songs, computer games and arts & crafts as well as printing letters and learning words that begin with that sound. Children learn to recognize letters and sounds and how they correlate to reading words. Through story time and exploring books together, children learn how to describe the order and events in a story and expand their vocabulary.
