About

Curriculum

Faith-Based

Our faith-based curriculum incorporates a biblical foundation and Christian values. First and foremost, we teach our students that they are loved by Jesus, and how they can respond to his love. We incorporate scripture verses, praise music, and creative biblical storytelling into our daily activities, and encourage our students to apply these values to their relationships as they interact with others, resolve conflict, and problem solve throughout their day.

Individualized

Our individualized approach is developmentally focused, which means that we recognize that children move through specific stages of development at their own pace. Each child has their own learning style and temperament which contribute to how they process information and retain it as knowledge. We teach each child kindergarten skills in conjunction with the Nevada Pre-K standards.

Academic

Our emphasis is on the process of learning. We believe that preschool lays the foundation for educational success in a child’s future learning experiences. It is our goal to provide a solid foundation and a well-rounded curriculum while fostering developmentally appropriate practices.

Social/EMOTIONAL

Children need to be equipped with valuable life skills such as listening, communicating, conflict resolution, following instructions, sharing, and taking turns. We strive to help our students develop strong self-esteem and ensure an environment in which their ideas are respected and validated.

This classroom is our Private Kindergarten, licensed through Nevada State Board of Education. The curriculum goes beyond the Washoe County Kindergarten standards for academic confidence and proficiency. We also accept a few preschool-aged children (after they have passed an assessment) to the accelerated preschool program that is within the kindergarten classroom. Traditionally, the children in the accelerated program should be turning 5 years old by December 31st of the current school year.
