Preschool
ICS PHILOSOPHY
The developmentally appropriate prekindergarten classroom meets the needs of children who are at various levels of growth and development. Children are unique individuals created in the image and likeness of God. They are encouraged to work at their own pace to enhance their personal skills and abilities thus growing and developing intellectually, physically, cognitively, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. The developmental preschool provides experiences for children to develop all their skills in the above areas by interacting with adults, other children, and materials. Children need time to adjust and feel safe in their environment before they can mature and be ready for abstract symbols such as the alphabet and numerals. Correct developmental structuring of the prekindergarten classroom can help provide children with a positive foundation. Self-concept development is strengthened when children are provided with experiences in which they can succeed at their level. Different levels of ability, interest and varying learning styles are used to provide appropriate activities. It is vital that children begin their education with positive experiences that build their skills and their self-concepts. At Incarnation we are honored and proud to offer such a developmental program that provides such a beginning.
