Our Philosophy
Our program has been established to provide a safe, stable Christian environment with an academically appropriate, Bible-based education in which the children will be prepared via Best Practices to launch into their life-long education and spiritual journey with God. They will accomplish this through discovery, exploration, play, decision making, problem solving, and structured learning.
Our educational Abeka curriculum centers on the "whole child" approach enabling, equipping, and encouraging every child. We are confident our program’s learning and developmental methods will help him or her thrive reaching their full potential. Our teachers adhere to this philosophy and work hard to cater to each child’s developmental needs. This means that teachers provide opportunities for children to grow in the areas of social, emotional, physical, intellectual, linguistic, moral, and spiritual development through play, academic, Biblical instruction, and hands-on experiences. We aim to nurture a child's natural love for learning. We provide a safe space where each child knows they are special and loved and will view each child as a unique individual by respecting and responding to their individual needs. We will provide every child with the time and resources needed to experiment, explore, and grow without the fear of failure or embarrassment while also engaging their senses in a variety of ways.
Through exploration and discovery children are enabled to form original ideas, encouraging them to think and problem solve. When children are allowed to make mistakes, they then have the freedom to invent, create and find new ways to do things. It is important to encourage creativity in all areas of learning.
Young children learn best in a setting that encourages experiential play through exploration. Children learn via the mode of play, how to get along, share, develop motor skills, independent thinking, language, and vocabulary skills, be responsible, mutual respect, decision making, and problem solving.
FBCM Weekday Preschool functions based on the philosophy that children, their families, and the greater community strongly benefit from high-quality early childhood development programs. We believe that the first five years of a child's life is critically linked to later success in life and that each graduate will be well equipped for Kindergarten after completing our program.
Every child learns differently. Acknowledging each child's unique character and learning style, allows for differentiation and equal access to all learning opportunities
We will encourage the characteristics of forgiveness, getting along with others, learning to play as a group, assuming small responsibilities and making the transition from home to school.
We strongly believe that parents are an essential part of the educational process. In acknowledgment of this important role, we will welcome and encourage parent involvement.
