SHAPING LEADERS

Preschool is one of the most formational and transformational places a child can encounter during their critical developmental years. As an incubator for personal growth, Preschool is a catalytic environment where foundations are laid and young worldviews begin to form and shape. The experiences during these pivotal early years help guide who a person becomes, the vocation they pursue, and the values that drive their every decision as they grow into adulthood.

From a very young age, children develop a sense of purpose and individual calling that needs to be nurtured and fostered in an intentional and love-filled setting. We believe Preschool is the perfect time to begin to shape hearts and minds towards a lifelong pursuit of Jesus and His Kingdom.

STRONG FOUNDATIONS

Our goal is to establish a firm foundation that unlocks each child’s full potential to flourish in all aspects of their life. Our nurturing learning environment promotes physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive development. Our cultivated approach to learning purposefully engages these little ones to become creative, kind, responsible, confident, and bold lovers of Jesus.

EXPLORATION + DISCOVERY

In our prepared classroom environments, we cultivate a child’s own natural desire to learn by encouraging hands-on, concrete learning through exploration and discovery. Through this innovative approach to early learning, curiosity and creativity are highly valued and encouraged. Our teaching methods support divergent thinking and imaginative play as integral parts of the development process which help build a positive association with learning while students are still getting used to structured activities.

Our program also encourages social interaction and skills development. Through multiple sensory-based learning stations, the Poetice Preschool allows every child to become a wonder-filled explorer in God’s world. Together, we unearth the God-given gifts within each child and seek to unlock and pursue their future dreams.

By infusing the Gospel/God Story in all aspects of our Preschool, we hope that every child will encounter Jesus in a very personal way to root, shape, and form their identity in Christ at a very young age.

INSTILLING
VALUE, DIGNITY, & WORTH

Throughout our Preschool, children are also given opportunities to practice being responsible. Our teachers teach and expect children to wash their hands, keep personal belongings in cubbies, and put toys back in their designated spaces which helps the child develop independence, self-control, responsibility and kindness.

The Poetice Preschool empowers young children to become positive contributors in all spheres of society by teaching them to positively influence and impact their communities (and the world) by their example. Our program directs children to become positive world changers who are motivated by love and Kingdom principles. Our strong focus on Biblically-based truths helps children see themselves as God sees them; full of value, dignity, and worth.

CHAMPIONING EVERY CHILD

We believe in championing each child to achieve breakthrough development milestones and excel in various disciplines. Focused on individual development, our passionate Preschool staff helps young children thrive in:

• Eye-hand Coordination

IMAGINING THE FUTURE

It is extremely powerful to help a child envision a future beyond the borders of what exists directly in front of them. Our preschool structure provides exposure to a cross-cultural and multinational peer group which creates a powerfully unique community and learning environment. Each multi-cultural classroom helps broaden a child’s horizons by giving them new perspectives and insights into future opportunities and possibilities. Our daily rhythms also provide numerous opportunities to learn how to make friends, cooperate, listen, and build foundational conversation skills.
