Play, Learn and Grow Together

PHYSICAL

We assist children in the development of both gross and fine motor skills. Climbing, running, jumping, teacher-directed games, balance beams, balls, cutting, painting, writing and play dough all help to develop gross and fine motor skills.

EMOTIONAL

We foster the development of social skills and self-confidence through individual and group interaction, by nurturing and recognizing feelings, participation in holiday parties, special days, field trips, individual and group activities and other special events.

COGNITIVE

We strive to develop critical thinking skills, reasoning and creativity through the use of songs and finger plays, stories, science and nature activities, creative art and games. We introduce the children to the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and music.

SPIRITUAL

We share Bible stories, songs, and prayers with the idea of teaching children that they are special because of God’s love. Each week, each class will attend Chapel in the Sanctuary.
