Why Pre-K at VCS?
Choosing Pre-K at Valley Christian School means choosing more than just early education – it’s choosing a Christ-centered foundation for your child’s future. Our program is designed to help 4–5-year-olds thrive socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually through structured routines and joyful discovery. With small class sizes and caring teachers, each child receives the personal attention they need to grow confidently.
We intentionally blend academic readiness with hands-on learning, emphasizing phonemic awareness, early math skills, and fine motor development. At the same time, students learn to follow directions, share, take turns, and build healthy relationships, all within a warm and nurturing Christian community. Whether your child is full of questions, full of energy, or just ready to explore, our Pre-K program meets them right where they are and helps them take the next step forward in faith and in learning.
Valley Christian School’s Approach to Learning in Pre-Kindergarten
Play-Based Learning
Children engage in purposeful play that builds early academic concepts, social skills, and creativity. Our teachers use hands-on activities to spark curiosity and guide learning through joyful exploration.
Biblical Foundations
Each day includes Bible stories, scripture memory, and faith-filled conversations that help children understand God’s love and truth. A biblical worldview is gently woven into all areas of learning.
Social and Emotional Development
We help children navigate emotions, relationships, and routines with kindness and respect. Students practice sharing, taking turns, problem-solving, and listening—all within a nurturing classroom community.
Early Literacy Skills
Students build strong pre-reading foundations through letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary development. Our classroom environment supports language growth through stories, songs, and conversation.
Foundational Math Concepts
Young learners explore numbers, patterns, shapes, and counting through hands-on manipulatives, games, and guided practice that prepares them for Kindergarten math.
Structured Routine with Flexibility
Our classroom balances predictable structure with the flexibility needed for young children to thrive. A consistent rhythm helps students feel secure while supporting their natural curiosity and energy.
