The purpose of Denver Baptist Preschool is to provide a balanced Christian education in a safe and loving atmosphere. The most important way preschoolers learn the Biblical message is through interaction with adults who show and act out God’s love and care. By offering a variety of learning experiences and by laying a spiritual foundation, each child can reach his/her highest potential. Each child is regarded as a unique individual and is encouraged to experiment and learn at his/her own individual level. A child learns best through hands on experience. Our teachers and staff will continually seek to help your child feel secure and valued as they offer many experiences and opportunities to grow and develop mentally, physically, and spiritually. Guiding the behavior and development of preschool children is an exciting and challenging responsibility, which we look forward to sharing with your child this year.
Parents are the primary educators for their children and we want to partner with you to help your children reach their goals. We do this in a variety of ways throughout our preschool day. Some of the activities we enjoy include:
Bible stories and songs with our Children’s Pastor on Wednesdays
Art projects and crafts with scissors
Painting, crayons, blocks and manipulatives
We have daily work to improve fine motor skills as well as gross motor skills
Music
Circle time is our way of introducing and exploring colors, numbers, shapes, Days of the week, Months of the Year.
The older children will also have sight words which will put them on the fast track to reading.
Our classes are set up by age and developmental levels. The age cut off is August 31. That simply means that the age the child is on August 31 determines his/her classroom assignment (for 2, 3, 4, 5 year olds).
Toddlers, crawlers and infants will be assessed according to their mobility.
We will add specifics to our website as our new year begins on September 4. Teachers will post, in their age groups, their calendars and newsletters.
