You are probably wondering what we do with the children during the five hours we have them. As you think about our ministry, you could consider it a preschool from 9-11:30 and a child care program from 11:30-2:00.

• In the morning, no matter your child’s age, we start the day with free play and warm-up time from 9:00 to 9:30.
  
  
• At 9:30 the school comes together and we have a 10-15 minute Chapel time. We will recite the Pledge of Allegiance, learn Bible verses, sing fun songs, and hear a Bible story or a story that teaches a moral or value.
  
  
• After Chapel all children go back to their classes and begin different activities/lessons. Each week the classrooms have a teaching theme (it’s different for each class) and all the day’s activities go along with the theme. According to your child’s age there will be different degrees of alphabet recognition or writing, name recognition or writing, lessons on shapes, colors, patterns, etc.
  
  
• During the morning the children also complete a variety of theme-related activities in centers. Centers may include art, homeliving, puzzles/manipulatives, science, books, and/or blocks.
  
  
• All classes have 20-30 minutes of free play either on an outside playground or in our indoor play room.
  
  
• The children have lunch between 11:15 –12:15, according to their age and class schedule.
  
  
• After lunch is the “child care” time of our day. According to their ages, children will either nap or have a quiet time. The older classrooms will have music, go outside again, or play games in their classroom; it is not a structured learning time. As the younger children wake from their naps, they will have quiet activities to participate in while the other children are sleeping.
