Daycare for Fours

We are getting ready! In our fours program, we provide exposure to the skills which are foundational to success in kindergarten and elementary school. Our goal is to make learning fun! We incorporate reading readiness, language development, vocabulary, thinking and listening skills, phonics, math readiness, and printing readiness. Additionally, we provide theme activities each month in social studies, science, and multicultural studies.

Our Bible curriculum lays the foundation for Godly character and lifestyle through practical development and application of Christ-like character traits such as love, faith, kindness, giving, thankfulness, honesty, wisdom, sharing, obedience, patience, fairness, forgiveness, joy, confidence, and loyalty.

Mid year, we provide assessments on each child in order to detect strengths and weaknesses – identifying special needs and communicating to parents their child's readiness for kindergarten the following year. Areas of assessment are motor, concepts, language, behavioral, self-help skills, social skills and work habits.

  1. Introduction to alphabet letters
  2. Review of colors
