As supported by extensive research, we know that children learn the most within the first five years of their lives. Therefore, we strive to create authentic learning experiences that allow our students to explore the basic skills of professional learning in a fun and exciting way!

Our day is broken up into several 20 minute activities or learning experiences. Daily your child will receive: - 20 minutes of Kindergarten readiness skills (See our 1st and 2nd semester breakdown below for more information on our Kindergarten readiness classes) - 20 minutes of Bible exploration - 20 minutes of Indoor Play - 20 minutes of Outdoor Play or Physical Education |

- Telling Time on the hour (4-yr. olds)
- Word Families (4-yr. olds ***if time allows)

The Power of Play:
We know that children learn best through play and self-discovery. Therefore we create different ways for your child to play everyday. Whether its through dramatic or "make believe" play or through the movement of their bodies. |
