Since
Solid Rock Christian Preschool started in 2003 our goal has always been to
provide a great “first school experience.” We are more than daycare and
worksheets. Our philosophy is based on a 3-prong approach: Academic, Biblical and Social.
Academic
We primarily use ABEKA a Christian curriculum that
introduces number concepts and math readiness skills. Phonics-based reading
readiness pages are full of carefully sequenced activities in recognition,
sound, and formation of vowels (long and short), consonants,
consonant-vowel blends, and one-syllable words of one or two vowels.
Biblical
The curriculum is designed to introduce Biblical
truths and to help each child understand and develop godly character traits.
Formal learning takes place during "circle time" as God's truths are
taught through Bible stories and memory verses, and then reinforced through
songs, finger plays, discussions, and role-play. Character development is
emphasized through stories and Bible verses as well as through classroom social
interaction where children learn to share, take turns, solve problems, and
verbalize needs and emotions. Bible lessons are taken from Scripture
Bites. (Thematic Bible Units for Preschoolers by Standard
Publishing Co.)
Social
We realize that in order for children to be
successful in school and in life it is important for them to develop strong
character qualities. We emphasize character traits through formalized teaching and
our daily nurturing environment.
- Responsible: Cleaning up after oneself.
- Patient: Waiting one’s turn.
- Polite: Saying, “Yes, please,” and “No thank you.”
- Friendly: Smile at one another and use kind words.
- Fair: Learning to share.
- Good Listener: Obeying authority figures.
- Cooperative: Working together to get the job done.
- Honest: Always telling the truth.
