Daily Schedule



Bible
Bible time at our preschool is a cherished part of our weekly routine, occurring twice a week, where our teachers and pastor engage with our young students to share the inspiring stories and teachings from the Bible, with a particular emphasis on the life and lessons of Jesus.
Through captivating storytelling, interactive discussions, engaging visuals from resources like The Beginner's Bible, creative crafts, and uplifting songs, we aim to create an environment where children can not only become familiar with these timeless stories but also learn essential values such as kindness, compassion, and love.
Our goal is to lay a strong foundation for their spiritual and moral development while fostering a deeper understanding of their faith.

Our Classroom Forms
Educational Centers
Science comes to life through hands-on exploration and wonder. We encourage young minds to ask questions, observe the world around them, and engage in simple yet fascinating experiments. Whether it's discovering the magic of magnets, exploring the properties of water, or watching seeds grow into plants, our science program fosters curiosity and critical thinking. We aim to ignite a lifelong passion for discovery and a solid foundation for future scientific learning.
Through sensory play with various textures, colors, and materials, children not only have fun but also build essential cognitive and motor skills. Whether it's digging in kinetic sand, exploring textured fabrics, or mixing colorful sensory bins, we provide a stimulating environment that promotes sensory awareness and enhances learning in a playful and engaging way.
Dramatic play is where imagination takes center stage. Through costumes, props, and creative scenarios, children embark on exciting make-believe adventures, from firefighters to tea parties and beyond. This enriching activity not only sparks creativity but also nurtures social skills, cooperation, and communication, laying a strong foundation for their overall development in a playful, engaging manner.
Educational Centers
Through hands-on activities, games, and creative exercises, we aim to spark curiosity and build mathematical confidence. Whether it's counting colorful objects, exploring geometric shapes, or solving simple puzzles, our goal is to instill a love for math and promote the development of essential skills that will serve as a solid basis for their future academic success.
We recognize the importance of nurturing creativity, which is why our art program holds a special place in our curriculum. Through a diverse range of artistic activities, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and crafting, we provide children with a platform to explore their imagination and develop fine motor skills. Our students learn about colors, textures, and various art techniques while also gaining an appreciation for different forms of visual expression.
Through read-aloud sessions, interactive discussions, and hands-on activities, we introduce children to the joy of storytelling and the power of words. Our carefully curated collection of books exposes children to diverse cultures, characters, and themes, fostering empathy and expanding their horizons. By immersing our students in the magical world of literature, we lay the foundation for strong language skills, active imaginations, and a lifelong passion for reading.
