Infant/Toddler Classroom
Ratio 1:4 | 4 students & 1 teacher
Our infant/toddler room is designed to provide ample opportunities for
one on one interaction, as well as an early introduction to socialization.
We believe that even the youngest of our students are entitled to an
environment filled with learning and sharing the love of Christ with
one another. The teachers provide a loving, caring and nurturing atmosphere
rich with experiences within the classroom and outdoor exploration.
Two Year Old Classroom
Ratio 1:7 | 14 students & 2 teachers
Our two year old classroom is full of life and energy as it should be!
A conscience balance of structured and emergent curriculum provide opportunities
for hands-on learning. Our two year old students are encouraged to thrive
in their independence as they are taught to be confident in their self
help skills. This classroom is available for children that are still
in diapers as well as those who are toilet trained or in the process.
With guidance, our students begin to emerge with creativity, finding
often that they are up to their elbows in paint! Our students are encouraged
to experience moments to the highest potential as we incorporate spirituality
and the first building blocks of faith in God.
Three & Four Year Old Classroom
Ratio 1:10 | 20 students & 2 teachers
Our three & four year old classroom is designed to be a multi-age
room. This classroom focuses on positive socialization, incorporating
the knowledge of a live lived for Christ. The students are encouraged
to respect, love and care for one another as they build meaningful relationships
with one another. The introduction of academic skills are also blended
into the curriculum daily. The children are divided into core groups
for a portion of time, providing additional opportunities for one on
one interaction and individualized teachable moments. Our students grow
in their ideas and choices as they actively participate in the emerging
curriculum. Some of the students will leave this classroom and enter
Kindergarten, while others will move forward into the next classroom.
Four Year Old Classroom
Ratio 1:12 | 12 students & 1 teacher
This classroom is built upon many of the concepts taught during the first
semester of Kindergarten. These concepts are taught throughout the course
of the school year, blending emergent learning opportunities to the core
of the curriculum. The students continue to be nurtured emotionally as
they grow deeper in their knowledge of God’s love. Some of the
students will leave this classroom and enter Kindergarten, while others
will move forward into the next classroom.
Four & Five Year Old Classroom
Ratio 1:12 | 12 students & 1 teacher
This is the final stage of growth before our students ultimately spread
their wings & fly! This classroom also serves students who could
have entered Kindergarten, but chose to have an additional year of opportunity & development.
Although this classroom is also based on the first semester of Kindergarten,
it is taken to a deeper and higher level of thinking. The children take
ownership of their involvement in the planning and implementing of curriculum.
They are challenged to make choices and take initiative in their ideas.
The students are taught with patience, love, encouragement and guidance
throughout this important stage of learning and development. Our hope
is to assist our students to be deeply rooted in faith and love before
they move forward into the next stage.
