Where every child is a special gift from God
At Grace Lutheran Preschool & Kindergarten, we believe that every child is a unique gift from God, deserving of love, care, and nurturance. Our philosophy focuses on the child, recognizing that they learn best through their own discoveries and active participation. As teachers, we guide and facilitate children's activities, encouraging them to explore, create, and learn through play.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to foster a love for learning, while encouraging children to grow and develop at their own pace. We believe in a child-centered approach, where children take an active role in their learning, exploring and discovering new concepts and skills. Our curriculum is divided into various activities, including:
- Jesus Time: A special time for children to learn about God's love and the Bible.
- Art: A variety of creative activities, such as painting, drawing, and crafts.
- Reading: Introduction to the alphabet, sounds, and simple reading skills.
- Block Center: Developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills through building and construction.
- Dramatic Play: Encouraging role-playing, creativity, and social skills.
- Manipulatives: Developing fine motor skills through play with various materials and tools.
- Science: Exploring and discovering the natural world through experiments and activities.
- Language and Math Activities: Introduction to basic math concepts and language skills.
Student-Teacher Ratio
We maintain a student-teacher ratio that is typically one-half of what one finds in most schools. Our Kindergarten classrooms have a student-teacher ratio of 1:12, with some instances of 1:7. This ensures that each child receives personal attention and guidance from their teacher.
Philosophy
Our philosophy focuses on the child rather than the teacher, recognizing that children learn best through their own discoveries and active participation. We believe that children's exploration is the essential component of our curriculum, considering the process of learning rather than the product.
