Ages 3 – 5 years
Pre-school & Pre-K Curriculum
Our Preschool & Pre-K curriculum provides a Christ-centered, bilingual learning experience that supports children’s spiritual, academic, and social growth. Through Spanish immersion, children develop language skills in both Spanish and English while learning Christian values like love, kindness, and respect. The curriculum fosters cognitive development and includes early literacy, math, creative activities, and problem-solving games. It also emphasizes social-emotional learning, physical development through play, and cultural awareness of Spanish-speaking traditions. This holistic approach nurtures the whole child, preparing them for future academic and spiritual success in a loving, bilingual environment.
Pre-school & Pre-K Routine
The daily routine for our Preschool & Pre-K program at Agape is designed to provide structure, spiritual growth, and academic development in a nurturing, Christ-centered, and bilingual environment. Here’s an overview of a typical day:
Morning Welcome & Prayer
The day begins with a warm greeting and a group prayer, inviting God’s presence and blessings. This helps children transition into the day while fostering community and spiritual connection.
Language Immersion
Throughout the day, children are immersed in both English and Spanish. Caregivers use both languages during circle time, activities, and play, encouraging natural language acquisition and helping children develop their speaking, listening, and comprehension skills.
Bible Stories & Christian Values
Each day includes Bible stories, prayers, and songs that teach Christian principles such as love, kindness, respect, and gratitude. These spiritual lessons are integrated into the daily routine, reinforcing the understanding of God’s love and how to live out Christian values.
Circle Time & Interactive Learning
Children gather for circle time, participating in group discussions, singing songs, and engaging in educational activities promoting language, literacy, and numeracy. Topics like colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and days of the week are explored in both languages.
Structured Learning & Creative Activities
Children engage in hands-on learning experiences that support early literacy, math skills, and cognitive development. Activities may include arts and crafts, puzzles, building blocks, or problem-solving games that encourage creativity, fine motor skills, and critical thinking.
Snack & Meal Time
During snack and meal times, children enjoy healthy food while practicing social skills such as sharing, waiting, and using manners. Caregivers incorporate both Spanish and English to reinforce language development during these moments.
Outdoor Play & Physical Activity
Physical activity is an important part of the day, whether it’s outdoor play on the playground, dancing, or structured movement games. This time supports gross motor development, coordination, and energy release.
Quiet Time/Rest
After a busy morning, children enjoy a quiet time or rest period to recharge. This time allows children to relax in a calm and nurturing environment, promoting emotional well-being and readiness for the afternoon.
Afternoon Learning & Group Activities
The afternoon consists of additional learning opportunities, including group projects, music, or themed learning experiences that reinforce the day’s lessons. Children also have time for independent or small-group play to continue exploring and applying what they’ve learned.
Closing Circle & Prayer
The day ends with a closing circle where children reflect on the day’s activities and share their thoughts. A final prayer is said to thank God for the day and for the time spent learning and growing together.
This structured routine is designed to provide a balanced mix of learning, play, spiritual growth, and language immersion, helping children develop into confident, compassionate, and bilingual individuals.
