Fours Pre-K

The Fours class incorporates various developmental skills through weekly study units. Kindergarten readiness is fostered by centers and circle times that introduce alphabet (upper and lower case), number concepts, phonics, pattern recognition, sorting, cutting, and drawing. Our Language Arts curriculum incorporates the award-winning Handwriting Without Tears® as part of our daily routine. Math concepts are taught using the Hands-On Standards Math Curriculum. This curriculum supports the use of manipulatives which provide lessons that are active and engaging! Curiosity is enhanced through science and discovery activities and through a number of field trips throughout the year. Each child is given opportunities to develop his/her social and emotional skills through imaginative play, sharing, and interactive participation. An awareness of God the Father, and Jesus, His Son is developed through prayer, Bible stories and truths which are integrated throughout the day.
