Early Kindergarten
This class is temporarily closed due to quarantine.
Young children are capable of extraordinary things. Our early kindergarten classes establish a firm foundation for spiritual formation and faith development. We endeavor to train up children in the way they should go by using Bible-based, research proven curricula. Learning is a combination of heredity (nature) and environmental factors (nurture), thus we support a child's natural bend with multi-sensory learning experiences in a nurturing Christian environment. Rich learning experiences ensure synapses are formed for problem solving and idea formation. Our Christian early educators provide hands-on early literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies instruction whereby connections are formed and become permanent. Concepts and skills are reinforced through sequential and repetitive activities. Students learn best through play experiences that allow practice. Consistency in primary teachers reduces stress and encourages the development of secure relationships. A well-balanced diet, sufficient sleep and plenty of exercise support healthy brain development. Our students learn to apply scripture to their daily lives which encourages emotional control, forming attachments to others, and acquiring language skills. Our early educators foster spiritual growth and holistic development in all domains: social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and creative.

K2 Curriculum
We strive to provide a solid academic foundation centered on a Bible based, Christ-centered Worldview. We believe in Kingdom Education – or the home, church, and school coming together for the educational process. Ecclesiastes reminds us that a “three-fold cord is not easily broken.” Building an integrative mindset into the next generation is effective when parents, pastors, and teachers are presenting the same message.
We believe curriculum is a race track each child is on and the experiences provided that foster competence in each domain of development or “everything we do”, including extra-curricular and co-curricular activities.
Students will use Teaching Strategies® Creative Curriculum which is supplemented with Christ-Centered Publications® and A Beka Book Publishers® Phonics and Math resources.
The K2 class accepts non-toilet-trained children. A toilet training plan will be implemented after the parent, teacher and director agree and after the child has exhibited some or all of the readiness behaviors. Parents must provide training pants, wipes, and several changes of clothing.

K3 Curriculum
STREAM learning experiences and assessments involve two or more standards from Science, Technology, Religion (Christianity), Engineering, Math and the Arts. Inquiry, discovery learning, collaboration, and an emphasis on process-based learning are at the heart of the STREAM approach. Utilizing technology and leveraging research proven instructional strategies will equip students to identify and develop their unique gifts and interests. We believe that children will tap into their creative imaginations and reinforce academic concepts as they are exposed to digital learning.
Our teachers structure the environment and activities based on the children’s cognitive development; varying complexity and level of choices, etc. and help children learn what they can manage. Teachers give children many opportunities to work with concrete objects and encourage them to interact with others and learn about other perspectives. Verbal directions, physical assistance, constructive play, and probing questioning by teachers help children improve skills and acquire knowledge. Working with peers allows children to respond to someone else’s examples, questions and actions.
Students will use the following textbooks and resources:
New King James Bible
Phonics and Math Christ-Centered Publications®
K-4 Readiness Skills A Beka Book Publishers®
ABC-123
ABC Cursive Writing Tablet
