Our time together focuses on a bible story, verse/song, interactive discussions about the letter, color, shape and number of the day as well as music and dance. The Children will participate in teacher guided and student guided activities. Each day, while guided by the teacher and assistant, the children will complete one or more projects relating to a topic discussed during circle time. The children will also have the opportunity to visit developmental centers of their choice which coincide with current skills and themes. The goal of our centers is to reinforce skills and encourage interactive, small group play. We conclude our day with a snack provided by Galilee Preschool and gross motor time to play either outside or in the narthex. Throughout the day, the teachers are modeling appropriate behaviors and encouraging children to play, talk and cooperate in a way which shows kindness and Christ-like behavior. Once a week, the children attend chapel lead by Pastor Hank Simon and Director of Discipleship, Emily Phoenix. The children will also have music time which centers around our theme for the month.
