God's Little Acre Preschool offers a stimulating learning environment with strong Christian values to preschool-aged children. The preschool currently operates five days a week, offering classes for three and four-year-old children and is open to all families of the surrounding communities. The curriculum of this program is based on a combination of traditional teaching methods with an emphasis to "hand's-on" learning, giving the children opportunities to use their five senses to learn.
The daily schedule consists of large group learning as well as center-time. Large-group learning is a time for children to learn basic skills. Center-time is when the children work and play independently or with small groups of friends at various centers; children are given chances to work on the computers, paint at an easel, dance to music, climb on the jungle gym, build a tower and mix ingredients for a snack.
From the Director:
As an Early Childhood educator, I believe I must provide a positive learning
environment that is not only exciting and creative, but one that is nurturing
and stable. I believe that I am responsible for devising a curriculum that enables
children to use all of their senses through this vital time of cognitive, social
and motor development. Because the needs of each child vary so greatly, I believe
that I am responsible for providing an atmosphere that stimulates each child's
desire to learn. I believe that I must constantly work to devise the very best
learning environment for the children while using the support of colleagues,
family and community.Debbie Harn, Director/teacher
