Goals and Objectives

Calvary Christian Preschool provides optimum care and supervision in a safe, protective environment necessary to enrich and enhance your child’s social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development. Our program offers each child the loving attention and personalized care required to encourage and promote the healthy development of self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-confidence. Calvary Christian Preschool is staffed with caring, qualified professionals trained in Early Childhood Education who understand and recognize the needs of each individual child. Our standard of excellence assures you of consistent quality with regard to conscientious care, nutrition, and safety. We are committed to making your child’s early years as secure, enjoyable, and informative as possible.

At Calvary Christian Preschool, we are dedicated to instilling within each child the love of the Bible and its principles and to apply those principles to everyday life.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old
he shall not depart from it.”
- Proverbs 22:6

In keeping with this profound Biblical principle, we are dedicated to providing each of our young students with:

• Christian Character: Prayer, worship, and serving God
• Mastery of basic skills necessary for success in future grade levels.
• Essential development of language and communication skills.
• Development of fine and gross motor skills.
• Understanding of numbers and their concepts.
• Basic logical thinking skills.

This process is initiated with Pre-Kindergarten, designed for two and early three year old children, and continued with Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Kindergarten, designed for three to five year old children.

NOTE: It is the belief of Calvary Christian Preschool that the phonetic approach is the most effective method of teaching reading. Therefore, phonics is the basis for our language curriculum.
