OUR PHILISOPHY & GOALS

  Welcome to Little Seedlings Christian Preschool!  It is our goal to provide your child with a complete developmental experience within an environment of Christian love and care.

While attending Little Seedlings, your child will be encouraged to grow...

Spiritually - through bible stories with real-life application and through building his/her relationship with God;

Intellectually - through age-appropriate lessons teaching numbers, letters, colors, shapes, calendar, name recognition and more;

Physically - by providing opportunities to develop small motor skills through the use of manipulatives and tools, large motor skills through organized games and physical activity.

Socially - by growing interaction skills with other children, teaching politeness and respect of others; and

Emotionally - by encouraging independent thought and building each child's self-confidence.

OUR GOALS

  -  To help children learn about God and His importance in their lives.
  -  To help each child realize that he/she is special and loved.
  -  To familiarize each child with Bible stories from Old and New Testaments.
  -  To help children discover who they are and what the world is about.
  -  To stimulate communication between children and each other, with adults and with God.
  -  To teach children Christian values.
  -  To help children develop new skills
  -  To help children build positive relationships with adults and other children.
  -  To show children that church is a good place to be.
  -  To provide theme-related activities that reinforce learning.
  -  To provide learning activities in non-competitive setting.

We recognize and respect that each child grows at his/her own pace.  Your child will be encouraged to participate to the best of his/her ability and will receive positive reinforcement for his/her efforts.
