Early Learning Center Environment:

The following is an overview of the Early Childhood Classroom environment. It has been created as a safe and nurturing place designed to facilitate learning through play.

1. The Classroom is Christ-Centered. Young children will experience the love, warmth and happiness that Jesus taught.

2. The Classroom is Child-Centered. It maximizes creativity and enhances learning opportunities.

3. The Classroom is Literacy Based. Books, stories and songs will help promote enjoyment of reading, reading readiness and language development of preschoolers.

4. The Classroom is a "Science-ing" Environment. Young learners will explore, improvise, experiment and wonder as they play and discover.

5. The Classroom is Musical. With songs that they love, children will become involved with language and movement experiences.

6. The Classroom is an "Art Studio". A variety of different art materials will be used to introduce and encourage children to discover and create.

7. The Classroom fosters responsibility. Preschoolers become more responsible as they experience success and achieve greater independence.

8. The Classroom capitalizes on children's natural curiosity. By providing age appropriate activities, children's natural inquisitiveness will be sparked.

9. The Classroom provides opportunity for problem-solving. Children will be encouraged to explore solutions and achieve success in their accomplishments.

10. The Classroom is Family Oriented. We desire to have you involved in your child's education. Materials designed to foster learning at home will be shared.
