All children are a gift from God, and they deserve a curriculum as remarkable as they are. The "ABEKA" approach to Christian education keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. The curriculum is designed to help each child develop language, reading, writing, and math skill appropriate to the stage of development. In addition to our Abeka curriculum, we introduce kindergarten High Frequency Site Words.
Separation anxiety is a normal developmental stage where children experience anxiety when they are separated from their parent. Some children have no separation anxiety and some children experience anxiety for several weeks. It is important to comfort the child and let them know it is okay to cry or feel upset. During the initial transition period children will meet their new teachers and classmates, and are gradually familiarized with school and classroom routines. If you are in doubt as to whether you should leave the classroom ask your child’s teacher. The length of time it takes before your child attends a full schedule will depend on the age and the individual child. Children are all unique. Teachers and the director are available to help any child who is having a particularly tough transition and teachers will provide necessary feedback to parents during the process.
Enrollment is ongoing and a child may enter at any time during the year. Parents can contact us to find out about availability and space.
