PHILOSOPHY

The Day School is a ministry of First Presbyterian Church. Its 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, snacks, learning by doing, recess, and story time, as well as crafts, rhymes, finger plays, and dramatizations. The one, two, three and four year old classes will also be using Zoo-phonics (www.zoophonics.com), a phonetically based comprehensive curriculum. Activities are individualized to each age group.

In addition to classroom curriculum, students will attend a music class, Chapel, and Library each week. Three and four year olds will also attend Spanish and computer class weekly. We will have special days each year including days for moms, dads, and other family members.
