| The “Whole Child” is
ministered to in the daily program in a variety of ways. Activities are
presented in creative and fun ways to encourage children’s interest and
involvement. We do this through a variety of learning methods such as
music, stories, computers, science, cooking, physical activity, hands-on
activities, games, areas and crafts. The following overview provides
guidelines/goals for six areas of development. |
|
SPIRITUAL |
| Bible Stories, object lessons, Christian songs, and prayer are taught
daily. We encourage children to practically apply these lessons to their
daily lives and interactions with others. We model Christ-like Behavior
and love to one another. |
|
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT |
| Activities for growth and development of small and large muscle
coordination using a variety of games, exercise movements, and materials
and spaces on our beautiful large campus. |
|
INTELLECTUAL |
| Thinking skills, number/letter meaning and recognition presented to
encourage intellectual curiosity and application of knowledge through
“first hand” discovery experiences. |
|
SOCIAL |
|
Participation in group activities and class “belonging” and
responsibility is presented actively in stories, role-plays, group
activities, and modeling by teachers. Understanding of rules, sharing of
space and resources, and conflict resolution lessons are taught daily. |
|
MORAL |
|
Values such as truth, respect for others, politeness, kindness, respect
for God’s world are reinforced in all work and play situations. |
|
EMOTIONAL |
|
Self-esteem and a feeling of security are built by providing care, love,
consistency and a safe, calm atmosphere. |
