Many parents have common concerns when searching for a three year old program.
The maximum number of children in a three-school class is 13 with one Head Teacher and one Teacher Assistant.
Circle time is how we transition into the more structured part of our day. The children recite the Pledge of Allegiance, review the monthly calendar, discuss the weather and introduce our weekly theme to the class. We sing songs, share exciting news and then proceed to our learning centers.
A pre-reading and pre-math skill is incorporated in each day's lesson. The children make a project each day to share with their family. Fine motor skills are strengthened during project time by cutting, gluing, coloring and painting activities.
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. The majority of our staff members are CPR certified.
The morning program is from 9:30 am until 12:00 pm either three days (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) or two days (Tuesday-Thursday) per week.
The afternoon program is from 12:30 pm until 3:00 pm three days per week (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) only.
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.
