Academics
Bible: Bible lessons are taught each
day using Bob Jones University Press. The preschool curriculum
includes familiar Bible stories with an emphasis on God’s
love. The students learn Bible verses, Biblical character qualities,
and the importance of prayer.
Developmental Play: The students are involved
in guided play in the following areas: home living, blocks, library,
small manipulatives, music, science, art, puppets, water play,
computer, and dress-up.
Teacher Directed Activity: These activities are usually
done during developmental play time to stress and reinforce academics.
Academics include letter readiness, number readiness, oral language
development, and a focus on positional words.
Learning Games: The purpose of learning
games is to develop the child in areas of perception, matching,
classification, letter readiness, sets, numbers, sequencing, separating,
combining, grouping, and fine motor skills.
Units/Social Studies/Science: Studying
through units answers the preschooler’s questions of why,
when, what, where, and how with respect to the world God created.
Units of study include the following titles: Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Valentine’s Day, Easter, Community Helpers, Transportation,
Weather, Seasons, Plants, and Animals.
Developmental Movement with a Purpose:
These activities include a set
of perceptual motor lessons that are sequentially and developmentally
designed to develop gross motor activities. Higher levels of body
control and body movements are obtained as well as self-concept.
These activities are typically set to music.
Story Time: The classroom teacher spends
time every day developing a love for books by reading aloud to
the students.
Library Time: Students in 4K visit the
library once a week to listen to the Librarian read stories and
check out books for classroom use.
Art: Creative, hands-on, reinforcement
activities coordinated with Bible lessons, unit studies, letter
recognition and math concepts are included each day.
Recess: Realizing that fresh air and exercise
are important, the students have supervised time on the playground
every day.
