Many parents have common concerns when searching for a three year old program.
Here are some questions you may have:
What is the class size?
Will I be informed of my child's progress throughout the year?
What academic concepts are incorporated in the three-school program?
Does my child have to be toilet trained?
What are the teacher qualifications?
What choices do I have in scheduling?
Will snack be provided?
What special days or events take place during the year?
What aspects of the Christian faith are included in the curriculum?
What if my child has difficulty separating?
The maximum number of children in a three-school class is 13 with one Head Teacher and one Teacher Assistant.
Progress reports are sent home in January and June. Parent/teacher conferences are also available.
A pre-reading and pre-math skill is incorporated in each day’s lesson. Your child will create a project each day to share with your family. Fine motor skills are strengthened during project time through a variety of activities. Colors, shapes and alphabet awareness are main components of the curriculum.
Yes, all children must be toilet trained. We do expect that accidents will happen. We ask that you send in a change of clothing for your child to keep at school so that they can change their clothing if necessary.
The Head Teacher is required to have either a Bachelor's Degree in Education or an Associate Degree in Early Childhood with a minimum of 3 years of age appropriate experience. All staff members are encouraged to further enhance their education by attending workshops and seminars each year. All of our staff members are CPR certified.
Morning program are from 9:30 am until 12:00 pm either three days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) or
two days per week (Tuesday and Thursday).
Afternoon program are from 12:30 pm until 3:00 pm either three days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) or,
two days per week (Wednesday and Friday).
We provide juice and a nutritious snack for your child every day. We give thanks to God for our food, learn proper table manners and teach the children to clean up after themselves.
At New Life we like to break up the daily routine with many different special events and themes. We have several special visitors throughout the year. We celebrate birthdays, autumn harvest, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter together. The children learn songs focusing on the Bible, holiday and fun-filled themes for the Christmas and Graduation programs. Parents and family members are invited to attend the Christmas and Graduation programs and enjoy refreshments afterwards.
We believe that every child is a precious gift from God. We strive to share that belief with the children through an awareness of God's love reflected in Bible stories, daily devotions and music. We celebrate Christmas and Easter with the children in age appropriate lessons.
Additional teacher assistants will be available to help the classroom teachers for the first few weeks of school to assist any children that may have difficulty separating.
