“Train up a child in the way he should go, and

when he is old he will not depart from it.”  Proverbs 22:6

 

NURSERY CLASS

OBJECTIVES

 

Three-year-olds should have the opportunity to be children and have fun.  They should not be compared to or be in competition with other children.  They will participate in Bible stories, cutting, shapes, letters, numbers, and name recognition.  Included in their program will be Christian social skills and language development.

 

PRE-KINDERGARTEN CLASS

OBJECTIVES

 

Through our Christian preschool, your child will have the opportunity to grow spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally and enhance his/her creativity.  Each session will incorporate Biblical stories, singing, creative play, hands-on-experiences, and Christian social skills.  Educational objectives include language development, reading readiness, and math and science concepts.

 

MONTHLY TUITION

 

The tuition for preschool will be $65.00 for 2 days per week or $120.00 for 4 days per week, which is due on the first of each month.  If transportation is needed, an additional fee will be added.

 

COMMUNICATION

 

A calendar with activities and a snack schedule will be sent home monthly.  Notes will be sent when special events occur.  Please feel free to call Kerri at the church 345-2595 or at home 345-2379 if you have any questions or concerns.

 

FIELD TRIPS

 

Several field trips will be planned throughout the school year.  Notice of such outings will be sent in advance.  A signed permission slip to cover all such trips is due the first week of school and will be required before your child can participate in any activity.

ILLNESS

 

We follow the McCook Public Schools guidelines.  A copy is available upon request.  Please call the church office when your child is ill.  Any communicable disease should be reported immediately so that other parents may be informed.  These include: ringworm, impetigo, head lice, pink eye and scabies.  A note from a physician is needed before a child may return to school.  Additionally, any child with a temperature over 100 should be kept at home and should not return to until the temperature has been below 99 for 24 hours.  Immunization records are required by the State of Nebraska and will be due the first week of Preschool.

 

 

 

 

SNACKS AND BIRTHDAY TREATS

 

Each child will take turns bringing snacks.  The snack schedule will be on the monthly calendar.  A “special day” will be planned for children with summer birthdays.  Please make the snacks nutritional.  Candy is not acceptable as the main snack; cookies and cupcakes are fine.

 

TRANSPORTATION

 

If your child needs transportation to and/or from school, please contact Kerri.  The cost will be $3.00 per day or $24.00 per month.  If transportation is needed sporadically, the cost is $1.50 per trip.
