At Zion Lutheran Preschool, we believe that every child is unique, with individual strengths, interests, and learning styles. Our Multiple Approach Learning philosophy, combined with our commitment to Christian education, creates a nurturing environment where children can thrive spiritually, socially, and academically.

 

Our Dedicated Educators

Our experienced and nurturing teachers are dedicated to providing an environment that intertwines multiple teaching strategies with Christian education. They skillfully observe each child's interests and adapt their approaches, accordingly, guiding children on their spiritual and academic journeys.

 

What is Multiple Approach Learning?

Multiple Approach Learning recognizes that children learn in various ways. By integrating different teaching methods, we engage children with concepts in a manner that resonates with them personally. This approach includes:

• Hands-On Activities: We encourage learning through play and exploration. Children engage in interactive projects, sensory activities, and creative arts that spark their curiosity and creativity.

• Collaborative Learning: We promote teamwork through group activities and discussions. Children learn from each other and develop essential social skills while working together on projects and play.

• Narrative and Storytelling: Stories are an integral part of our curriculum. We use stories to foster imagination, language skills, and comprehension in our little learners.

• Music and Movement: We incorporate music and movement into our lessons. This not only makes learning fun but also supports physical development and rhythm recognition.

• Outdoor Exploration: We utilize our beautiful outdoor space to encourage students to learn through exploration, using their imaginations to discover natural, open-ended opportunities for science and discovery.

• Multi-Sensory Curriculum: Learning Without Tears is a hands-on, muti-sensory approach to learning numbers and letters. Our curriculum uses a wide variety of approaches including: fine motor activities, sensory play, music, and writing.

 

Integrating Christian Values in Education

Our bible curriculum, Enduring Faith, is rooted in Christian principles. Through Bible stories, songs, and activities, we introduce children to foundational Christian values, helping them to understand their place in God's creation.

• Daily Prayer and Devotions: Each day begins with a short devotion, allowing children to reflect on God’s love and teachings. This encourages them to develop a personal relationship with God from a young age.

• Character Development: Our bible curriculum focuses on building strong character traits, such as honesty, generosity, and compassion, grounded in biblical teachings. We guide children in understanding the importance of these values in their everyday interactions.
