Pre-K and Learning Center Educational Philosophy This information is designed to help you understand our program, its mission, and the guidelines under which we operate. You are always welcome to visit, ask questions, and make suggestions. Cooperation between parents and staff will contribute to a successful experience for your child. Our program values children and believes in families. We encourage parental involvement as much as possible, offering many chances for you to take part and to be more aware of the exciting things your child is enjoying and learning. We sponsor this program as a ministry to provide a learning environment that will help preschoolers grow as Jesus grew. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52). A child develops mentally, physically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. We are committed to providing biblically based age-appropriate experiences to allow each child to progress in these areas at his/her own level of ability while enjoying feelings of success. This is primarily done through hands on activities in learning centers and positive Christ like role modeling of the staff. Parent newsletters will keep you informed about each unit designed for your child’s class. The Ringgold First Baptist Pre K and Learning Center operates under standards of the State of Georgia Child Care Licensing Agency and is inspected regularly. It is licensed by the Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning and comes under the guidelines of Chapter 591-1-1 Child Care Learning Centers. Your child will participate in a variety of learning center activities which include art, books, blocks, puzzles and manipulative, nature, music, and dramatic play. Appropriate field trips are taken in the community, and you will be notified in advance of any field trip. Social skills are developed through sharing, taking turns, thinking, reasoning, and solving problems. Bible stories, thoughts, and verses are included in each teaching unit. |
