Early Education Programs
Rhema Christian School Early Education Programs consist of a Preschool (3's) and Pre-Kindergarten programs (4 & 5’s). Our programs equip our young students with spiritual, social, emotional, and academic development. We believe that the social/emotional development of a child goes hand-in-hand with their spiritual development. With a flexible schedule, parents can choose either half-day or full day classes. Assessments are administered throughout the year, along with parent-teacher conferences, to build an important connection between families and school. Weekly communication with families consists of emails, newsletters, and the App - Bloomz, which provides families a way to see photos and videos of their children in class and many more features.
All three programs within Early Education share a schedule of a weekly theme, Bible lesson, and Bible verse. Examples of our weekly themes consist of Creation, Nutrition and Cultural Diversity. Our weekly Bible lesson and Bible verses relate to our weekly theme. Our preschool and pre-kindergarten programs also include language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Our Bible lessons equip students with prayer, building our relationship with Jesus, followed up with a craft about the lesson. Academics are taught by certified teachers who provide a play-based approach to learning. Center-based learning in the morning and afternoon consists of dramatic play, sensory bins, writing station, felt board station, building blocks, and much more.
