PROGRAMS
Our Curriculum
We are a developmentally appropriate preschool program that focuses on nuturing the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of children in a Christian based environment. Children will enjoy art, music, circle time, dramatic play, physical play, and science explorations. Pre-reading, writing and math activities are part of the daily curriculum. We use the California Preschool Curriculum Frameworks as our foundation and supplement with program materials from Zoo Phonics, Handwriting without Tears (Get Set For School), and Math their Way. Of primary importance is helping our students to develop their social emotional competence and we do this through a systematic and evidence-based framework, the “Teaching Pyramid” that was developed by the Center on Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning.

7:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Each week, students in Lily Pad Corner will enjoy a wonderful enrichment program of crafts, games and other activities that center around a piece of children's literature or famous children's author. In addition, they will participate in a daily circle time, indoor and outdoor discovery times, teacher led activities, weekly yoga and PE activities.
Lunch bunch program

(For PM Pre-K: 11:45 A.m. - 12:30 P.M.)
Need a little extra time to get things done? Your child is welcome to stay an extra 45 minutes after the preschool program ends to eat lunch and play with friends. Send your child to school with a lunch and enjoy a little more time to yourself.
This program is offered on a space available basis only for $6 a day. A sign up sheet will be available each week at the sign in counter or you can pre-register to hold a spot ahead of time through the director .
PRESCHOOL / PRE-K
TADPOLES
(For 3 and 4 Year Olds)
This class is designed as an introduction to preschool for the 3 year old and for those 4 year olds with some preschool experience but who are not old enough to be in the Pre-K Froggies program. There is a strong emphasis on developing early social skills such as taking turns, using words to express thoughts and feelings and being responsible.
pre-k froggies
(For Those Students Entering Kindergarten in Fall of the following year)
This class focuses on Kindergarten readiness. Students will still enjoy exploring and engaging in art, music, physical play, science, dramatic play and circle time but there will be a greater emphasis and more time spent on pre-reading (letter recognition and phonics), pre-writing (dictation, name writing, correct letter formation, cutting practice) and math (numbers recognition and writing, math explorations and developing number sense.) Social skills will focus on problem solving with peers, showing respect to others and developing greater independence.
Dates/Times
Tadpoles and Pre-K Froggies are offered 2, 3 or 5 days a week from 8:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Children must be fully toilet trained.

Parent participation program (optional)
You are your child's first teacher and we encourage you to continue to be an active part of his education as your schedule allows. We offer a discount on tuition for those parents who are able to contribute 4 hours per month to the program. This can be done in the classroom during our small group instruction and center time. A limited number of hours are also available by working at family events throughout the year or by working on projects at home. If you are interested in this program, let us know at the time of registration. (Volunteers are required to have a clear T.B. test, immunizations from pertussis and measles and fill out a confidentiality and health statement.)
In the event that you are unable to provide the required amount of time in any given month, you will be billed at the regular tuition fee.
Due to current recommendations in place to address the pandemic, this program has been suspended until further notice. We look forward to reinstating it soon.
