Our Mission

Our vision of  A Child’s Haven Preschool is a Christian environment where the uniqueness of all children is celebrated.  Every child is encouraged to explore, to learn, and to grow to his or her potential.  The mission of our preschool is to provide an educational environment in which the Christian faith will be reflected. We will provide early childhood education for children which are developmentally appropriate, intellectually stimulating, and spiritually nurturing in a safe, loving preschool environment.

A Child's Haven Preschool teaches through outdoor play.

 

Our Philosophy

Our program philosophy is based on the premise that children learn about the world around them through play (active involvement with other children, adults, and materials). Learning takes place as young children touch, manipulate, and experiment with things and interact with people. The emphasis is on the experiences of the children rather than the results of those experiences. For examples, painting is more important than what has been painted; building with blocks is more important than what is built. Days are filled with planned and spontaneous moments of learning. There’s time for active outdoor play, imaginative games, independent discovery and group time experiences..

Our Curriculum

 

A Child’s Haven bases its curriculum on the philosophy that children learn through play. Our curriculum emphasizes a “hands on” approach to learning. Classroom lessons provide active involvement, meaningful exploration, and reinforcement through repetition. Daily schedules are designed to balance structure and free choice, as well as active and quiet times.  Skills are introduced through materials and activities which are both child-centered and teacher-directed. Activities are planned which emphasize the process instead of the  product, fostering a sense of achievement and self-worth. Equipment, materials, and activities are chosen based on the appropriate ages and stages of the child’s development.  We follow the Texas Early Childhood Guidelines in our younger classes and the Texas Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines in our Pre-K class.

The Kinder Bridge class utilizes the Get Set For School and Handwriting without Tears curriculum from Learning Without Tears.  This class is designed for children who have completed a pre-k class or who have an early fall birthday.  The class provides a “gift of time” so to speak, in that it gives children extra time for development of important skills before attending an  actual kindergarten class.

Program Objectives

  • Assist children in learning to live comfortably in a social environment in addition to the family.
  • Develop toleration and respect for individual and cultural differences through discussion, literature, and role modeling.
  • Provide opportunities for the children to interact, guided by models of socially acceptable behavior.
  • Enhance the child’s self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-confidence by offering many opportunities for a child to succeed, express ideas, and understand his/her emotions and to attain skills to control them (using peaceful conflict resolution).
  • Provide opportunities for math, science, reading, memory skills, language development, and social science.
  • Increase attention span and follow simple directions.
  • Foster creativity and self-expression through art, music, and dramatic play.
  • Develop small muscles by using scissors, paste, clay, blocks, puzzles, beads, pegs, etc.
  • Develop large muscles through outdoor activities such as climbing, riding a tricycle, running, etc.
  • Stimulate and encourage curiosity and provide opportunities for problem solving.
  • Encourage children to take care of their own needs with support from the adults in their environment.
  • Foster a belief in God and to know that God loves them and cares for them.

Christian Education

A Child’s Haven provides a Christian environment where God’s love is celebrated. Each week the teachers present a bible story to the children in a developmentally appropriate way. Prayer is used appropriately throughout the day. Songs with A Christian message are used in the classroom on a regular basis. Children attend chapel once a week to listen to a lesson and sing with the pastors.  Each month the children learn about a different Fruit of the Spirit, which uses fruit to teach about the characteristics of Jesus.

Music and Movement

Physical development is an important part of growth for all children.  All classes attend music and movement each day.  Teachers lead the classes in dancing and different movement activities that help the children develop and refine their gross motor skills.

Art

Children engage in daily art activities in their classrooms.  They enjoy doing crafts and other artistic projects related to our weekly planned themes.  The emphasis is on developing a love for art and of free expression.
