Our Philosophy
To provide a safe and nurturing environment for children. To foster children's natural love of learning in an atmosphere that promotes social, physical, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive development of a young child. Also providing group experiences which contribute to the well rounded development of children. Our program is based on developmentally appropriate curriculum where learning takes place through active exploration.
The Genesis preschool program operates under the policies established by the constitution and by-laws of St. John's Lutheran church. Enrollment is open to children of all faiths, races, and ethnic origins.
Our Curriculum/Educational Format
Every
child is looked upon as a special gift from God. Here at Genesis, our teachers
and assistants provide safe and developmentally appropriate environments that
encourage children to explore and discover. Social, emotional and spiritual development
occurs as children are loved and guided by adult role models (staff) and
interact with other children within the classroom. Research has proven that
young children learn best when they can be actively involved in the learning
process. Our curriculum includes weekly/monthly study topics, where children
can dig in and explore, using their senses to learn. Small and Large group
activities as well as one-on-one time with the teacher, promote growth in all
areas of development, including social/emotional, fine and large motor,
language, cognitive, music and movement and art.
