Mission Statement:

"So that our children may grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior."

II Peter 3:18

 

We believe…

  • Each child is a gift from God (Psalm 127:3) and it is our endeavor to treat each child as a unique God-given individual. We encourage individuality whereby each child may find identity, purpose, and power for his/her life in Christ.
  • The young child learns best about God’s world through experimentation and exploration. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flexible program that enables each child to learn at his/her own developmental schema. Play is an integral part of the program as it is through play a child unveils the world around them.
  • Teacher and parents form a partnership in carrying out responsibilities of nurturing and educating each child (Proverbs 22:6). Together we want to teach children what it means to put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior and friend.
  • Education provides a warm and loving Christ-centered environment where each child can develop to his/her fullest potential aesthetically, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually.

Philosophy: Daily Activities

Trinity Lutheran Pre-Kindergarten’s developmentally centered approach allows for a good balance between child-initiated and teacher-planned times. A daily routine provides children with a sense of comfort and stability.


These are the parts of a typical Pre-Kindergarten day:

  • Jesus time - by living each day to be more like Jesus
  • Large-motor play - developing skills in the gym and on the playground
  • Music time - singing, instruments, and various music styles
  • Story time - fostering the love of reading
  • Snack time - children practice table manners and informal conversation
  • Small group projects - based on the children’s interests
  • Field trips and visitors
  • Discovery Center Time
    • painting
    • block building
    • exploring with science
    • dramatic play and dress-up
    • working with puzzles
    • working with small motor manipulatives
    • language experiences with books and
    • writing materials
    • math concepts and numbers
    • cooking experiences
    • very basic Spanish and Sign language
