Preschool Academics
NorthCreek Preschool provides children a Christian environment in which they can develop spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally and socially through age appropriate activities.
Our state licensed, high quality program offers a balance between child-initiated play and teacher directed activities. We recognize the crucial importance of children’s experiences during early childhood. Positive, supportive relationships during the earliest years are essential for healthy emotional development, cognitive development and social attachment. We believe that all areas of a child’s development – physical, social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive are interrelated and equal in importance, and that play is the best vehicle for discovery and growth.
Our programs encourage children to think independently, to experiment and to problem solve. Our curriculum is Bible based and emphasizes that God loves them, while helping them grow in their love for God, themselves and others. Children are encouraged to develop healthy relationships and consideration and respect for others. Our program offers interest centers, language development, fine and gross motor skills, math and reading readiness, science exploration, art, music and cooking, and is state licensed.
