Arise!

Daily Activities

To plan our fun filled days, Arise Preschool utilizes two play-based curriculums, High Reach Learning and Letterland. Both curriculums assist in presenting age-appropriate academics and developmental activities in a way each child can learn through play. In addition to our play-based academics, we have a faith-based focus presented by our Orange Curriculum for Chapel as well as a monthly faith focus based on the fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23. These daily activities include but are not limited to the following:

Learning Centers: Throughout the week children participate in structured play centers. Centers are organized by Math/Science, Language Arts/Literacy, Art, Dramatic play, Sensory Stimulation/Discovery, and Building. Centers are designed to offer a range of stimulating activities to increase mental/social development, fine and large motor skills.

**While we do not perform formal assessments, if our team notices a child needing extra attention in these areas, we will inform the parent and develop a plan to assist the child’s development.

Daily Circle Time: Circle time focuses on social/spatial awareness, auditory discrimination, attention abilities, and verbal skills.

Snack/Lunch: Children will eat in a group setting while practicing social and verbal skills as well as life skills and manners. Snack, lunch, and water bottle are parent provided for all classes.

Music: Each classroom introduces new songs and creative movement that complement the monthly learning theme, as well as occasional activities with instruments.

Chapel: Bible stories, chapel songs, and prayer are all an integral part of this special weekly gathering. Children learn Bible verses and read Bible stories as part of the curriculum. Prayer is incorporated throughout the day – at Circle Time, before snack, and for the occasional “boo-boo.”

Large Muscle Play: Each day the children will have time for free play on the playground or indoor gym.

Sharing: To encourage the development of verbal language skills, children may be asked to bring in special toys or books which tie into the curriculum for show and tell.

Field Trips: Arise Preschool does not participate in off-site field trips. However, we will provide additional “special on-site learning experiences” provided for the classes to supplement our planned curriculum.
