MUM's Christian Preschool
MISSION
Our mission at MUM's Christian Preschool is to provide a Christian service to the local community. Our preschool will encourage social, physical, intellectual, and emotional development in your children, using age-appropriate curriculum in a Christian environment. We are dedicated to the task of helping your children learn through play.
Basics such as the alphabet, colors, shapes, and numbers will be introduced.
Children will experience the essentials of learning, including observing, remembering, completing a task, sharing and self-expressing.
Enrollment is open to all, without regard to race or religion.
CURRICULUM
Our curriculum will include -
Free play to encourage social inter-action, fine motor skills, self-expression, creative exploration and decision-making skills.
Circle time to develop speaking and listening skills.
Music and physical activities to encourage growth in rhythm, gross motor skills, self-control and following directions.
Arts and sciences through the use of crafts, holiday celebrations, and natural observations.
Basic Christian values, Bible stories, and prayer before snack.
Special programs will be scheduled for your child's learning and enjoyment.
Class size will be limited. Each class will be taught by a qualified teacher and assisted by a teacher's aide.
