A loving, Christian atmosphere that is sensitive to the individual child's abilities, potential and readiness, prevails throughout the Pre-School. The curriculum emphasizes the joy of discovery, the development of creativity, and simple problem solving. The primary aim is to enable each child to develop a positive self-concept, a positive attitude toward learning and fundamental readiness skills. Oral language is enhanced by storytelling, dramatic role playing and relating and recording of the child's personal experiences. Cooking, creative play and expression, and field trips are all included in the developmental program.
Individual attention is afforded each child.
The child's active participation in self-directed play and supervised activities with actual real life experiences facilitates motivated, meaningful learning in the early years. Learning centers where each child is free to explore individual interests, exercise initiative, and develop resourcefulness and responsibility provide the setting for individual and small group instruction. A child's continuing success in school is largely dependent upon proper placement in her earliest years. To ensure proper placement, each child's progress is carefully followed, and there is ongoing communication with parents. The Nursery program provides a secure but stimulating environment to meet the needs of the 3 and 4 year olds.
