All Saints Preschool will provide a safe and caring Christian
learning environment for your child. It is our goal to work in
cooperation with each child's family to provide educational experiences
within a Christian atmosphere that encourages the development
of the "total" child - spiritually, emotionally, cognitively,
physically, and socially. We will enhance your child's self-esteem
and develop positive feelings towards learning.
All Saints Preschool offers a complete preschool program with
classes for children ages 3-5 years old.
The main emphasis of our 3 year old class is on the social development.
Our goal is to allow these children to feel positive and secure
in an environment other than home. We value play as an appropriate
way of learning and will assist children with their communication
skills, and relationships with other children, seeing that they
engage in solitary, parallel, and cooperative play. We introduce
a variety of Pre-K skills, such as writing their first name, cutting,
counting, shapes, colors, etc., and allow the children to develop
these skills at their own rate.
Our 4 year old class goes another step further. We still place
great value on the social development as children continue to
develop their communication and social skills; however, we begin
to concentrate on Kindergarten readiness skills. Throughout the
year, we work on skills such as colors, shapes, number and alphabet
recognition, first and last names, responsibility within the classroom,
manners, and self-help skills. Our goal is to provide the children
with a fun and developmentally appropriate environment that is
conducive to their learning.
Our Enrichment class is an extension of our 4 year old class.
This class will provide the link between preschool and Kindergarten.
We continue to place great value on social development, but the
main focus will be on Kindergarten readiness skills. We will enrich
the child's development through active exploratory learning centers,
and promote a positive attitude towards learning.
All children will be provided the opportunities to:
1. Interact and play within a learning program.
2. Use and explore materials freely and constructively to enhance
creativity, independence, motor coordination, and initiative.
3. Develop gross and fine motor skills through the use of large
and small materials and equipment.
4. Develop communication and social skills through self-expression
in music, art, stories, play maaterials, equipment, and activities.
5. Introduce religious concepts that will enhance each child's
feelings of belonging and living cooperatively in the world and
Christian community.
