Programs For Toddlers Through Pre K

 

Our Christian preschool near Litchfield Park serves children from roughly age 1 through the year before kindergarten. Each age group has its own classroom, daily rhythm, and learning goals so your child is always with peers who are in a similar developmental stage.

 

Toddler Program (Around Ages 1 To 2)

 

Toddlers are busy discovering the world God made. In our toddler rooms, teachers focus on helping children feel secure and loved while they practice new skills. Toddlers at our Litchfield Park area campus:

• Work on early physical skills like walking, climbing with help, and stacking

• Use simple words and gestures to express their needs

• Follow very short routines like washing hands or sitting for a brief song or story

• Hear simple ideas like “God made you” or “Jesus loves you” in everyday conversation

 

The goal at this stage is not to teach long lessons, but to surround toddlers with a calm, caring environment where they begin to hear about God’s love in very simple ways.

 

Preschool Program (Around Ages 3 To 4)

 

Preschoolers are curious, talkative, and eager to explore. In these classrooms, children enjoy a balance of play and learning activities that build early school skills. Preschoolers near Litchfield Park:

• Practice recognizing their name and letters

• Build early math skills through counting, patterns, and hands on games

• Explore science and nature using simple experiments and outdoor observations

• Learn social skills such as taking turns, sharing, and using kind words

 

Teachers connect lessons to everyday life. For example, a Bible story about helping others might lead into a conversation about how children can help at home or in the classroom. The focus remains on short, meaningful connections that help children see how faith and daily choices go together.

 

Pre K Program (Around Ages 4 To 5)

 

The Pre K year is an important bridge to kindergarten. At our Christian preschool near Litchfield Park, the Pre K program is designed to build confidence and readiness in a supportive, faith informed setting. Pre K students:

• Strengthen pre reading skills and early writing

• Practice number sense, simple addition ideas, and problem solving

• Work in small groups and learn to follow multi step directions

• Talk about showing respect to teachers, classmates, and parents

 

Children leave Pre K better prepared to step into elementary school, and they have spent the year hearing about God’s care for them in ways that fit their age and understanding.

 

Teachers Who Model Christian Values With Gentleness

 

One of the things parents notice quickly at our Litchfield Park area campus is the warmth of the staff. Teachers see their work as more than clocking in and out. They view it as an opportunity to serve children and families with patience, joy, and integrity.

 

Gentle, Caring Teachers

In our classrooms, you will often see teachers:

• Kneeling down to speak at a child’s eye level

• Using calm voices and simple explanations during challenging moments

• Encouraging children when they try something new

• Helping children talk through big feelings instead of ignoring them

 

Because our school is Christian, teachers talk with children about honesty, kindness, forgiveness, and caring for others. When disagreements happen, staff guide children through saying “I am sorry,” listening to each other, and looking for solutions.

 

Partnering With Parents

 

We know that parents are the most important influence in a child’s life. Our goal is to support you, not replace you.

At this campus, you can expect:

• Updates about classroom themes and activities

• Notes about how your child is adjusting, growing, and making friends

• A chance to ask questions about both learning and faith topics

 

We want communication to feel open and comfortable so you never have to guess what is happening in your child’s day.
