PRE-K

Pre-K classes use the Purposeful Design Bible curriculum, which focuses on the foundational teachings from the Bible about the nature and character of God, the qualities of His people, and His church. In addition, children are taught weekly Bible verses to correspond with each week’s lesson.

Emphasis is on learning the letters of the alphabet and their sounds using many strategies. 

Using age-appropriate, tactile, and kinesthetic methods, students are introduced to the mechanics of writing, and proper uppercase letter and number formation.  

Emphasis is on providing rich literary experiences for the children in the form of Bible stories, poetry, age-appropriate non-fiction, and children’s fiction to expand the student’s vocabulary and support early reading skills. 

Every day in Pre-K Math, the teachers build upon the concepts taught through the Bridges in Mathematics curriculum started in Preschool. These are highly effective programs that teach sorting, classification, pattern extension, prediction, measurement and more! 

Our themes help children explore the world around them, creating rich experiences and introductions to the world beyond their own front door. 

Emphasis is on experiencing science in an exciting hands-on format. Students participate in planting and harvesting, discover their five senses, notice seasonal changes and observe the life cycles of frogs and butterflies. 

Art experiences and age-appropriate crafts are incorporated into every subject. Emphasis is on the “process” rather than the outcome, creating an environment where exploratory learning is key. 

Basic Spanish is taught at Circle Time. 

Classes visit the NCA library once a month and learn how to care for books. They can check out books for use in the classroom.
