St. Paul’s Christian Preschool
We are working to create an environment that encourages self-expression, individuality, and uniqueness in a Christian setting. As the public school requires more of our children, it is becoming more and more important that children have opportunities to learn and grow in preparation for their future education. We strive to give children the necessary tools to have a successful beginning while having a fun time!
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matt. 19:14
Our curriculum includes many different themes. Many of our themes include art, science, and social studies related material. In addition, we teach pre-reading and math skills throughout the year. We also include Bible stories from the Pray and Play Bible series.
2012-2013 CLASSES
3-YEAR-OLD CLASS: Tuesday and Thursday, 9:15-11:30 am. Children must turn 3-years-old prior to September 1, 2012 and be fully potty-trained by the start of school. In this class we work on taking turns, sharing, lining up, following directions, listening to stories, and many other classroom skills as we learn fun themes and sing and dance in music and movement. We work on colors, shapes, numbers, name recognition, and many other skills in a fun and sensory filled atmosphere! We like to paint and get messy in this class!
4-YEAR-OLD CLASS: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:00-11:30 am. Children must turn 4-years-old prior to September 1, 2012. In this class we begin to recognize letters and numbers while also studying different themes from Apples to Space. We begin the year with the numbers 1 to 12 and then move to a letter of the week. The children work on weekly journals and we have thematic art projects. We also try to write class stories and fit in time for music and movement and lots of play!
