Preschool
Christ Lutheran Preschool is a small nonprofit Christian preschool. As an extension of the Christ Lutheran Church we seek to provide an atmosphere of Christian love and understanding. These pages are intended to answer your questions regarding philosophy, procedures and policies. Please keep this handbook for future reference.
Goals and Philosophy
Our emphasis is on social development. We feel the total development of the preschooler is far more important than the acquisition of factual knowledge. The childs social development and self-concept are most important at this point. Basic to this development is consideration and love for others... lessons which cannot be learned with rigid rules and regulations, but require a relaxed and loving atmosphere.The following list of basic goals have been derived from the philsophy stated above. During each child's time with us, we hope that he/she will learn to do the following:
- learn to interact with others
- learn to share in work and play
- learn to assume responsibility for one's actions
- learn to take pride in achievements and, by the same token, acknowledge mistakes
- learn to express ideas and feelings
- learn to make choices
- learn to compromise and contribute within their group
- learn to finish started projects
- Freeplay and group sharing
- stories, puppets, and drama
- Alphabet
- Numbers and counting
- Arts and crafts
