Falmouth Baptist Church Weekday Preschool

The role of the Weekday Preschool is to provide a Christian environment that will nurture the child’s physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual development.

WHAT WILL MY CHILD LEARN?
Your preschooler will be learn about God, self, others, the natural world, family, and community. We also introduce the children to the alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes. Children learn best through making their own choices during playtimes, though art activities which emphasize the child’s own creativity, though interest centers such as home living and nature, through projects which foster curiosity, through games and musical activities, and through stories, poems and songs.

HOW DO YOU TEACH ABOUT GOD?
We teach that God made us and loves us. Through conversation during center time, teachers model thankfulness to God (for our hands, for example), and encourage children to wonder about and take delight in all of God’s creation. Classes pray together at snack time and have a daily Bible Story.

Teachers treat each child with respect as a unique creation of God. They know that the best way for children to learn to accept God’s love for them is to be with loving and caring adults.

CURRICULUM
Our program uses as a basis the Wee Learn Curriculum Guide. The curriculum is developed around themes that provide opportunities for children to learn about God’s world and how to live in it. The day-to-day curriculum will be planned by the teachers and approved by the Preschool Director and will be compatible with the philosophy of the school. Each of our classrooms is designed as a learning center, offering students a unique “hands-on” learning adventure.
