Starting Kindergarten

Choosing the path your child will follow for their education is a big decision.  

In Kindergarten a child is developing skills and beliefs that they will use the rest of their life.  

Education has been described as a garden - and a child as the seed.  The school and education are the soil - the nourishing environment for the seed to bud, grow and bloom.  At Faith Christian, children are rooted in God's love, truth and faith.  Caring teachers provide many nutrients for growth and development, and children blossom!

In Faith Christian School’s kindergarten program, it is our pleasure to work with parents to “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

God’s Word is a living tool to teach His ways in all academic, physical, social, and spiritual areas of learning. Bible lessons, prayer, and character building scriptures help children come to know and trust in God’s love in a personal way.

Our half day kindergarten program is developmentally appropriate and designed to give children the foundational skills necessary for success in school.  We encourage children to learn, participate, and excel in a fun and fast paced learning environment.  Positive reinforcement and clear classroom procedures help the children learn to respect each other and the education process. 

Faith Christian School's Kindergarten program is a Christ-centered, creative learning environment. Your student will experience a year filled with Bible stories, prayer, scripture memory, creative hands-on learning, friends, singing, and FUN! We emphasize phonics and give the children the tools they need to unlock reading. We want every child to love learning! We also want every child to know Jesus Christ personally and to love and serve Him all their days.

Our Curriculum

Abeka phonics is a wonderful building block phonics program that allows each student to move as quickly as their individual abilities allow.  It also allows for repetition and reinforcement for students who benefit from this.  The use of stations during our phonics lessons allows each child’s developmental needs to be met. With a paid aide in the classroom, we have many opportunities to reinforce phonics, math, writing, and physical growth at one of our phonics stations.  Parent volunteers oversee several art and creative play activities at one of these stations. 

The Abeaka math curriculum gives children the opportunity to develop mental math skills, while hands-on activities reinforce these math facts through the use of manipulatives, songs, and games.

We use a literacy based science and social studies program that allows the children to learn about and explore God's creation around them.  Science experiments provide many memorable teaching moments.
