Launch Pad is our Preschool 3 class. In this class we work on recognizing letters, begin to learn to write letters, recognize numbers, learn math skills, and introductory time skills.

Our Curriculum in Launch Pad is Funshine Online. Children this age learn best through play. So lessons are taught using games, songs, and hands-on crafts. We come together as a group twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, for lesson time. This is the time when new concepts are taught. In the morning are preschool concepts and in the afternoon are Bible concepts. Our Bible lessons focus on teaching the children that God made them, He loves them and has a plan for them, Jesus is God’s Son and our Savior, and how amazingly wonderful God is.

As well, our classroom is set up in centers. This allows the children to learn and discover on their own and develop their own unique interests.  We want to help the children develop the skills and confidence to be life-long learners. A teacher is a wonderful facilitator of learning but is not the only source of knowledge. By having a play-based classroom and a schedule with a mix of child-directed and teacher-directed activities,  we have created an environment that allows the children to develop these skills.
