 We believe in the
importance of meeting the developmental needs of children.
Basic to developmental theory is the premise that the path to maturity is a
sequential and orderly process.
Within this growth progression preschoolers experience predictable states of
development in terms of their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical
needs.
Consequently, the role of the teacher in a developmental program is to design
the curriculum and environment so that each child will experience optimum growth
at his or her particular level of development. The pre-school programs at
Kids of Promise provide a Christ-centered, structured learning environment
geared to meet the various developmental needs of the young child.
A variety of learning experiences are provided to promote the spiritual,
cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of the child. Students
build on concept formation through learning, problem-solving, logical thinking,
and imagination. A Biblical approach to character development is utilized,
focusing on self-awareness, cooperative behavior, responsibility, and
self-confidence. We further reinforce these through Chapel services held every
Friday.
Play is an important part of the program. It is the
natural activity of childhood. Through play, children: learn to
..........share ideas, cooperate, solve problems, concentrate, develop
curiosity, strength, coordination, their senses, express feelings & energy,
imagination, and creativity.

Children must be one-year-old and walking.
The one-year-old class provides a nurturing and loving environment for
fostering of socialization and the development of self-awareness.
Children learn through the use of their senses, motor activity and other
experiences provided by the teachers. |
The K-2 program is structured for two year-old who
