Early Childhood

The Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) Early Childhood Educational Program consists of classes in Preschool Age 3, Preschool Age 4, Transitional Kindergarten (KT) and Kindergarten 5 (K5).  The program is based on the philosophy that God created each child with unique differences. Because of these differences, each child will possess varying degrees of developmental readiness. Every child will go through a cycle of developmental stages, but at a rate and pattern of growth particular to him or herself, especially in the early years. 

Each aspect of development - physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual - relies on and supports the others. In the Early Childhood Program, teachers appreciate and anticipate that readiness, for any task has its roots in the biological and maturational make-up of the child. Therefore, teachers do not try to produce, speed up, or ignore maturational readiness.

Using a multi-sensory approach in our learning environment, it is our goal that each child will develop his or her own unique, God-given personality, have an awareness of his or her place in the world around him or her, and develop an appreciation for his or her environment.

It is our desire to provide opportunities for the whole child to develop spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually through an interactive environment. Our approach is grounded in sound child development theory and appropriate practices.
