REGISTRATION FOR 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR
Continues
SUMMER SESSION - June 17 - July 24
PHILOSOPHY
The Day School is a ministry of the
First Presbyterian Church. The purpose is to take seriously the baptismal
vows to nurture our children in the Christian faith. Our goal is to
provide a Christian atmosphere in which each child will grow spiritually,
physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
This program is designed to give each
child the age appropriate experience he or she needs in a Christian
environment surrounded with love, to develop satisfying relationships,
increase awareness and knowledge about the world, to grow in self
understanding, and to use his or her developing powers to communicate and
think.
CURRICULUM
The babies and one year olds use the “Every Day in Every Way” by Cynthia Holly and Faraday
Burditt. This is a calendar of preschool
learning challenges divided into areas of fine motor activities, learning
centers, circle time, planning, thinking, and talking, Music and movement,
snack, learning by doing, recess, and story time, as well as crafts, rhymes,
finger plays, and dramatizations will also be included. The one, two,
three & four year old classes will also be using
Zoo-phonics (www.zoophonics.com). This is a comprehensive curriculum
that is phonetically based.
These activities will be individualized
to each age group with age appropriate activities.
In addition to classroom curriculum,
students will attend a music class, Chapel, and Library each week.
Three and four year olds will attend Spanish and computer class weekly. We
will have special days each year including days for moms, dads, and other
family members.
