LCA Pre-Kindergarten Program
About Us
Our Pre-Kindergarten program is both an academic and socialization program. The Pre-K students are prepping for kindergarten in our classroom as the Academy offers a personalized and rich learning environment featuring numerous academic disciplines and hands-on learning activities that allow children to blossom cognitively and socially according to their readiness level.
The Pre-K class embodies the Academy’s philosophy of education which is designed to flow into its academic curriculum. However, our Pre-K program stands alone in equipping children to enter any kindergarten with the skills they will need to meet higher education with success. We meet or exceed Pennsylvania standards for early education.
There is also an emphasis on leadership, even within our Pre-K program, as students lead in the classroom and also have the opportunity to be lead by the Academy’s older students in Buddy Reading, Chapel Buddies and combined school-wide activities.
Classroom Model
Recognizing that each child develops at their own rate and that intellect and creative ability develop before Kindergarten, Leadership Christian Academy seeks to:
·
-
Create teachable moments that will reach your child with the power of God and His Word to nurture a strong faith.
-
Provide an environment that is physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually safe where your child’s self-esteem and confidence are built through successful relationships with others.
-
Enrich your child’s spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development through exploration and discovery activities, a balanced program of group instruction, physical activity and structured independent work time.
-
Address students' learning styles through multi-sensory "hands-on learning," utilizing an abundance of manipulatives and visual aides to create learning that engages the whole student.
