3s, 4s & Kindergarten Readiness
Preparing children for Kindergarten
We are intentional about preparing our students for their next educational journey. Our three-year-old, four-year-old, and Kindergarten Readiness classes incorporate the ABEKA curriculum in phonics and mathematics, providing age-appropriate academic instruction and foundational skills for a successful transition into Kindergarten.
Our preschool team works closely with the Awaken Christian Academy Elementary School, creating a strong connection between our programs. As children progress into the next stage of their education, they are well prepared academically, socially, and emotionally, making the move to Kindergarten as smooth and positive as possible.
Curriculum
Child development goals & curriculum
Early childhood is a critical time in the development of a child’s perceptions of self, others, the world, and God. Our Christian preschool curriculum stimulates each child’s physical, mental, emotional, cognitive, and social development, providing for the special needs of each child while maintaining a strong spiritual emphasis throughout.
Young children learn primarily through play and interactive experiences. As they explore their environment, they gather information, make assumptions and test them, finding meaning and order in their world. A balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities prepares children for future academic growth.
