This program offers a safe and loving environment for infants 12 months to 18 months. Children are able to acclimate to the preschool setting and become accustomed to separating from parents. They become comfortable with our routine, new friends, and teachers. Children spend time on socialization skills and are introduced to a variety of stimulating activities focusing on fine and gross motor skills. Children will begin their first experiences in literacy facilitated with felt boards, puppets, and songs. Music is incorporated throughout the day. Crafts and Bible stories are introduced. Playground facilities are used daily to promote gross motor skill development through climbing, running, and playing. Specials include weekly Chapel, Music, and Storytelling.

Student/Teacher Ratio 10:2
DOB between 9/1/16 & 3/1/17

The children will begin the year by exploring their environment and getting acquainted. They begin to work on socialization skills such as sharing and cleaning up. This class will concentrate on one theme per month. Many activities such as art, music, finger plays, and story time will all revolve around the assigned theme. Older One’s use our outdoor facilities including the playground, outdoor chapel area, and green space. Outdoor play encourages gross motor development, taking turns, and exploration of the natural world. Bible Stories and Music will be shared with this young group every week in the classroom. Specials include weekly Chapel, Music, and Storytelling. Older One’s activities build on skills described above.

Parent Survey Comments
Each year we survey parents for their thoughts and comments, to help us continually improve our programs. We are proud to share a sample of recent comments below:
“Amazing as always! My daughter has blossomed in exponential ways this year both behaviorally and academically.
I am so grateful for her teachers and the care they took to ensure her success!”
“My son has had an excellent first year of preschool in the 1’s class. He has become increasingly involved over the course of the year and he talks happily about his teachers and preschool at home.”
“Thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement during our year and for the wonderful and engaging Christian learning environment you create for my children.”
“My son is very prepared for Kindergarten – more than I could have ever imagined!”
“It brightened my day seeing their smiles and cheerful service. Having no family in town, I utilized Friday Adventures for doctor appointments and it was so helpful!!”
“You ladies gave us what our children needed in every aspect – a safe environment, a Christian environment, and a great education. The words ‘thank you’ just do not describe the gratitude and love I have for this school. You will never know the impact you had on our family.”
