Play     Learn     Grow

Play is the language of children and the foundation of quality preschools. Therefore, within a general framework, the curriculum of Cannon Church Preschool is planned according to children’s needs and interests.

Learn through Play. We are excited to offer the Handwriting Without Tears/ Get Set for School program to help our students with math, writing and reading skills.

Play Learn Grow. A good educational program focuses on the strengths of the whole child so that all areas of growth and development (social, emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual) are addressed.

Our school provides child-centered environments where adults facilitate children’s play with encouragement, time, space and materials to help them explore ideas, make discoveries, and build concepts. According to research in the field of child development, children need concrete objects and materials to play with, manipulate and explore in order to be successful at more abstract mental tasks thereby laying foundations for future learning.

Activities during large and small group times rely on hands-on activities and investigations and seldom resemble traditional pencil and paper lessons. During these activities children experience the following:

• classify, measure, group, sequence, sort, explore, discuss objects, materials and ideas.
• create and construct using familiar and new materials.
• listen to, tell or write stories.
• build skills such as consciousness of God, independence, cooperativeness, critical thinking, self control, decision making, respect for others, and responsibility.
