Three Year Old and Four Year Old Programs
The preschool program has a curriculum that stresses the six stages of development of the child. They include physical, emotional, social, mental, cognitive, and spiritual development. On-going in the classroom in addition to process art, where the sole purpose is for the child’s satisfaction and imagination, are name, color and number recognition, weather and calendar activities, and simple cooking through play. Various manipulatives and materials are available daily to the children for fine and large motor development. Daily prayer is an integral part of the preschool curriculum as well as the Atrium Program, (the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd) which honors the innate spirituality of the child, allowing the child’s inner teacher – the Holy Spirit – bring the child slowly to a deeper love and understanding of God. This is primarily accomplished in an environment especially prepared for the child called “Atrium” which is neither school nor church, but a place where they can know God. The child is given age-appropriate presentations on Scripture passage. The child’s activities in the Atrium include working with the materials presented. The children attend Atrium once a week for one half an hour.
