Preschool Curriculum
Holy Cross Preschool is committed to providing
children with an educational, Christian-based program. The staff is dedicated to teaching children school-readiness and life skills through the daily schedule and activities they offer. The curriculum is based on educational and developmental theories and current research supporting the development
of young children. Holy Cross bases their program on the belief that children learn through play, inter-action with others, modeled teaching approaches, and the opportunity to make individual choices. Allowing children the opportunity to investigate, experiment, and explore concepts while interacting with others and participating in teacher-directed activities provides them with a sense of individuality, spirituality, and friendship, while building on the development of the whole child. Children are provided a balanced amount of time to engage in structured and unstructured activities. Throughout the daily schedule they are able to participate in child and teacher-directed activities with daily lesson plans and the setup of the classroom environment. The Word of God is integrated in all content areas (math, science, social studies, early writing, early literacy, and language), and developmental domains (adaptive, social, emotional, physical, and cognitive) to provide all children an equal opportunity for growth.
Chapel Time
Chapel Time is a weekly event for our preschool children. The Holy Cross pastors share worship experiences based on trust in God and focusing on His unconditional love. God is portrayed as caring, accepting and comforting. Through song, prayer and Bible stories, children experience the grace of God and the love of Jesus Christ. Parents are always welcome to attend.
