What we teach...
The term “developmentally appropriate” simply means teaching based on theories of child development and the strengths and needs of young children. Preschool-aged children are not smaller sized elementary students. They learn differently. They need to move, explore and get their hands dirty. They learn best through play—not by sitting at a desk and completing worksheets. Teaching young children requires a “whole child” approach. NCP strives to cover the following domains each day: - Physical Development – How do I move my body to be healthy and have fun? How do I use scissors? How do I hold a marker or paint with a brush? - Intellectual Development – What is this? How does this work? If I do this, what will happen? - Emotional Development – What do I do when I miss my family? How do I express emotions appropriately? How do I try something new when I’m afraid? - Social Development – How do I make a friend? How do I resolve conflicts at school? How do I share and take turns? - Spiritual Development – Where did I come from? What is my purpose? Who can I turn to when life is scary? |
Class Descriptions...
All classes meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Half-day classes meet from approximately 9:00-11:30 or 12:30-3:00. Extended Day classes meet from approximately 9:00-3:00. We use staggered arrival and dismissal times for the convenience of the families. Birds - This class is for children ready to venture away from the nest for a few mornings per week. Children must be three years old and toilet trained. Social/emotional development, art, music, songs & finger plays are the focus of this group. Bunnies - This class is designed for children who are 3 or 4 years old. Creative art, music, language arts, early math & science concepts are the focus. Bible stories and a scripture theme add to the child’s spiritual development. Bumblebees -This class is designed for children who are five years old but not quite ready for Kindergarten. Kindergarten readiness is stressed with pre-reading/writing activities, early math & science. Bible stories and basic Christian principles plant seeds in your child’s heart. Social/Emotional maturity is developed as we stress II Timothy 2:24 “Be kind to everyone.” Extended Day Program- Any child enrolled in the am classes may add an afternoon session and extend the school day until 3:00 pm. The quiet afternoon allows enhanced activities and helps children prepare for the transition to Kindergarten. Parents provide a packed lunch. Lunch Program – Every child in our program may add the lunch option from 11:30-12:30 for a small additional fee. Children bring a packed lunch and the school provides milk. To provide the best educational experience for your child, all classes are taught by two teachers.
