Our Curriculum & Faith Components

The Epiphany Preschool's intent is to provide a curriculum that fosters growth in the five major areas of a child's development (social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive) within the context of a loving and accepting Christian community.

All children are stimulated, guided, and encouraged in carefully planned activities that allow each child to develop at their own rate.  Through whole group, small group and individualized activities, children are given the opportunity to play, explore, socialize, create, question, and experiment in order to make sense of the world around them and to develop their own sense of independence, self-confidence, and responsibility.  Many activities are offered in learning centers arranged around the classroom.  These centers include dramatic play, science/exploration, literacy, blocks, music, art, and manipulative games.  Believing that children learn best when activities and ideas are interconnected, the curriculum and centers are designed around weekly and monthly themes.  The centers are changed accordingly to offer new and stimulating activities to expand upon themes and related experiences. Multicultural and non-stereotyping materials are provided to build understanding, self-identity, and self-esteem.  Multicultural experiences include the exploration of a variety of foods, music, families, and homes.

The Epiphany Preschool promotes a Christian environment with an emphasis on meeting the spiritual needs of each child.  Children will learn special mealtime prayers and participate in study and celebration of the events of the Christian calendar.  Through these activities and staff role models, the children learn how to treat each other with kindness, concern, and empathy.
