St. John’s Pre-School serves children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. We focus on faith-based early education to prepare young children for kindergarten by helping them with skills needed to take them on into adulthood.
Pre-School students work on the following concepts they should know before entering kindergarten: size, colors, shapes, numbers, reading readiness, motor skills, and social-emotional development. Our students accomplish much more. We have special events and days each month: career day, spirit week, book day, Thanksgiving lunch, Christmas play, just to mention a few. We teach the whole child: socially, emotionally, behaviorally, physically, academically and spiritually.
ABCJesusLovesMe
Our Curriculum is based on the works of Piaget, Gardner and Erikson.
ABCJesusLovesMe is designed using research-based methods for educating young children, ensuring that each activity promotes both development and learning that adhere to industry standards. Rooted in a strong Biblical foundation, our curricula incorporates Christian values that shape the way children grow in faith and knowledge. Our learning objectives help facilitate learning in all domains while consistently being flexible to accommodate varied learning styles as we understand that every child is different. We include many learning styles that capture children’s interest and involve interactive activities that help children develop a love for learning and Jesus!
