OUR PROGRAM |
||||
| At Leo United Methodist Preschool, we believe that each child is a unique and special individual who will progress at his/her own rate. We make every effort to develop within each child a positive self-esteem. Our main goal is to see that all the children feel good about themselves and that they enjoy their first experience in a school setting. The students learn to become more independent able to leave home for awhile and to do things for themselves. They grow socially by learning how to relate to other children and to adults other than their parents or guardians. They learn to respect others and the property of others; to respect rules; and to follow routines. | ||||
| Our
curriculum and activities provide for development in the following
areas: Physical - Both small and large muscle development through indoor and outdoor activities Emotional - Learning to express one’s feelings and learning to control own behavior |
 |
|||
| Social - Getting
along with other children; learning to care for others and to share;
accepting and respecting authority Spiritual - Knowing that God has created each of them to be special and important; that He loves us all unconditionally; and that we should love and care for others. We stress the religious aspect of holidays, such as Christmas and Easter. We do offer prayers at snack time. However, we do not teach Methodist doctrine; we are non-denominational in the previously mentioned beliefs we present. |
 |
|||
| Language - Developing listening and speaking skills Curriculum - In addition to the teachers’ classroom activities that relate to the curriculum topics, we incorporate resource persons, special programs, and fie trips to provide for further enrichment experiences. |
 |
|||
| Our main goal, then, is not academic achievements. Rather, it is to provide a setting in which children learn to be with others, to develop their attention spans, to enjoy new experiences, to feel like capable, loveable individuals. | ||||
