4 Years

Kindergarten

Your Child’s Journey Starts Here!

A comprehensive four-year-old Preschool program has been created to challenge students to develop their skills in the intellectual, spiritual, physical, and social realms.  Along with Bible, Phonics, Reading, Language Development, Writing, Numbers, Science, and History, we utilize interest centers, units, and theme topics in a combination of group and individual instruction.  The Abeka curriculum is used to give a more traditional approach to learning along with other resources to enhance learning and retention of foundational academic and spiritual knowledge. An emphasis is also placed on social interaction among the students, giving them opportunities to develop social values, sharing, group acceptance, independence, and dependability.

Bible

Every day will be a fun filled learning experience for your child. Students will enjoy familiar stories of the Old and New Testament. They will learn how to apply Biblical truths to their daily lives to provide a firm foundation as they grow and mature.

 

Phonics and Reading

Our approach to the teaching of reading is a simple phonetic system combined with reading texts that are interesting, challenging, and geared to the development of Christian character. Skills are enhanced by using structured group games.

 

Numbers

Students learn to count from 1 to 100 and the concepts of 1 to 20. They also recognize the numbers 1 to 20.

 

Outside Play

Our four year olds have time for outside play every day. Gross motor skills, such as running, jumping, hopping, climbing, throwing, and catching are developed during this time.

 

Art

The purpose of art is to strengthen the student’s fine motor skills and creativity. Crayon drawings, collages, cutting and pasting various shapes, as well as a variety of craft activities offer a multiplicity of preschool art experiences. In addition to art in the classroom, students will have the opportunity to expand their creativity in a fully equipped art room.

 

Music

The purpose of music is to acquaint the student with a wide variety of songs through classroom participation and memorization. As the children become familiar with various melodies, they are enriched in mind, spirit, and character. The children are introduced to their own feelings for music and rhythm through movement and hands-on experiences with rhythm instruments.

 

Computers

The main objective for the preschool computer classes is to familiarize the students with the terms, proper care, and use of the computer. The 4K curriculum builds on the 3K program. Students continue practicing the skills and rules necessary to properly care for and use the computer. However, the process is accelerated and the software is more academically oriented in order to meet their increased abilities and educational needs. Grade level appropriate educational software is utilized in every period to enhance the academic curriculum used in the classroom.

 

Spanish / Library

The main purpose of Spanish class is to continue to familiarize students with listening and understanding basic conversational Spanish. Students are also told interactive stories and learn the basics of library procedures.

 

Half Day or Full Day

All students are to be dropped off, and all parents separated from their children, no later than 8:00 a.m. as each class settles into their routine at that time. Students that are half day are picked up at 12:00 p.m. while full day students prepare for lunch. Full day students nap during the afternoon and are picked up at 3:00 p.m.

Our Mission

The MAster's Academy, a ministry of New Testament Baptist Church, exists to challenge students in grades 3K-8 to become well-balanced, Christ-like persons by educating in the mental, physical, social and spiritual realms.
