Pre-K3 Curriculum Guide
What Your Child Will Learn
Our curriculum guide is designed to assist you in gaining an understanding of what students in Pre-K3 are taught. The curriculum is developed specifically for young learners, keeping them actively involved in the learning process, and focusing on their individual needs.
Teachers use theme based instruction, incorporating a hands-on approach in daily teaching and learning centers are an integral part of the classroom experience. They work to build an early foundation in the Word of God and Christian concepts while building a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Preschool staff is committed to offering a loving and nurturing educational program for each student. We hope you find this information helpful in answering your questions. For more details, we encourage you to talk to the Director or Early Education.
