NCS recognizes these critical thresholds. Consequently, the preschool program relies heavily on active, child-initiated learning experiences which are learning center based. Outcomes include the development of dispositions important to lifelong learning - initiative, curiosity, trust, confidence, independence, responsibility, and divergent thinking. The pre-kindergarten program is designed as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten. Snacks are provided and breakfast and a hot lunch are available.
Classes are well planned and provide age appropriate, hands-on activities.
Blocks of time are scheduled for socialization and learning through play. Activities involve gross and fine motor skills. Instruction includes a shape, color, and nursery rhyme for each month. Artwork is created to reinforce the lessons and develop creativity. Children learn about God each day through song, finger plays, and Bible stories.
