Preschool Program

The Preschool program at Little Zion is the perfect place to begin your child’s first school experience. This is great for ages 3 years, children turning 3 before the end of the year or young four-year old. Our preschool teachers are knowledgeable, experienced, and enthusiastic! They will make your child feel right at home in the classroom. Children will learn the structure and basic functioning of a classroom, from a predictable daily schedule and build understanding of how student / teacher interactions build learning. Don’t worry, children will have plenty of free play time and will be called to a teacher’s table for a craft related to the theme of the day, or a teacher guided lesson.

Enhancing fine motor skills

Our preschool children enjoy daily circle time with songs, games, and stories. Combine that with time to run outside and release all their energy on our playground. Throughout the year, the Preschool children will have many opportunities to enhance their fine motor skills, as well as develop socially and emotionally, while also learning about Jesus and their relationship with Him.

and there's more...

Through a combination of structure and cooperative free play, children will gain all the skills and confidence they need to prepare for the Pre-Kindergarten program whether they continue at Zion or not. A large prediction of a child’s success in Kindergarten is their social skill set. In our Threes’ program we are helping children work in small groups, build sharing skills and grow their confidence in a school setting. This is done through modeling conflict resolution, supporting group work and encouraging independent skills. Children in our program make friends and build success by sharing ideas together. Children need activities to build muscular strength. In the Threes’ program children build their gross motor skills through dancing, the balancing beam, climbing up the giant pirate ship and a large amount of movement activities.

The Christian Foundation

At Little Zion, we partner with families to help each child grow in their relationship with God. Children learn that God loves them, forgives them, and cares for them. In the classroom, this looks like: Student-led Jesus Time where children take an active role in sharing faith. Exploring and asking questions about Bible characters and stories. Engaging in 1-week, 2-week, or month-long learning units focused on faith topics. Pastor Time with special visits to deepen understanding and connection. Our goal is to weave faith into everyday learning, guiding children to know and love God.
