Philosophy
It is the purpose of Mount Olive Preschool to provide an extension of the Christian family: A loving accepting, Christ-centered environment that will allow each child to grow spiritually, cognitively, emotionally, physically, socially and creatively, fostering a sense of accomplishment, self worth and independence.
1. Education Instruction
Understand and compare numbers
Alphabet (recognition of letters and their sounds)
Develop interest in books
Print her/his name in upper and lower case letter
Recognize shapes and colors
Develop creativity through art media
2. Social and Behavioral
We offer the child an opportunity to interact with other children of her/his own age in planned activities and free play. We strive to establish a feeling of respect for other people and their property. We seek to strengthen self-image and foster self-control.
3. Physical Development
The school selects activities that use large and small muscles in games and play, aerobics, manipulative and non-manipulative activities, loco-motor and creative movement exercises.
4. Christian Education/Chapel Time
The children learn about Jesus and His love for them. They become familiar with Bible stories, songs and learn prayers through out the school year. Chapel takes place on Tuesday and Friday mornings at 11:40am family and friends are welcome to attend chapel with our students.
5. Open Communication
Parents are always welcome! We encourage participation in school activities and programs.
Parents who need may make an appointment to discuss their students progress with the classroom teacher. The Preschool Director is available daily in the afternoon hours to speak with you.
Pre-k students are evaluated for kindergarten readiness. Evaluation is based on the daily observation of the student by the teacher. Concerns or questions should be brought to the attention of the teacher. The teacher will provide up dates on your childs progress through out the school year.
