Preschool

Preschool provides a program of activities, care, and supervision designed to meet the development needs of  average 3 to 5 year old children.

Westchester Lutheran Preschool is a developmentally readiness school with a weekly curriculum. Children develop through thought and language,  as well as motor and social skills.

Art is introduced through:
-easel painting
-sculpture with play dough and papier-mache
-music
-dance
-drawing

We build small motor skills by:
-encouraging the children to use scissors
-hold a crayon and pencil correctly
-trace and color
-place and paste
-self-care skills

Large motor skills are developed by:
-running
-playing
-climbing
-learning to ride a tricycle
-game playing

 The children learn letters, numbers, color sorting, matching, and shape recognition.   They are taught how to follow directions and take turns in simple games. We  encourage  the children to share and problem solve by using their words. They sing Christian songs, Bible stories are read to them, and patriotism is introduced.
