Meeting each child where they are.
当你的孩子接近学前班时，你可能既兴奋又紧张. 学前教育 means 你r child will learn new skills, 交朋友, 和 establish an early academic foundation. 作为家长, 你 know these early years are about so much more than kindergarten-readiness; it’s also a time for instilling in 你r child the confidence 和 security needed to be successful inside 和 outside the classroom
新葡京app的学前教育计划是为了让小学习者成为上帝创造的独特个体. 通过个性化的关注和适合发展的内容和活动, we meet each of our preschoolers where they are, guiding them as they learn, 成长, 祈祷, 和玩耍.
游戏为主. 将其人化的.
The learning environment at Eastern Christian School
We believe in a strong partnership between school 和 home. Prior to 你r child’s first day of preschool, 你’ll meet with their teacher for a listening conference, 让我们有机会从最了解你孩子的人那里了解你的孩子 你. 我们将满足, 至少, 全年再进行两次，以确保我们对孩子的发展和进步有一致的看法.
Inside our preschool classrooms, 你 will find:
- 细心关注您孩子的成长和学习，确保您的孩子在正确的时间学习正确的材料. Teachers track student development through the research-based tool Gold Objectives for Development 和 Learning, 和 share findings with 你 through biannual reports.
- 无技术区:我们了解幼儿通过操作具体材料学习效果最好，因此根据大量数据显示，这个年龄段的学生学习的最佳方式，我们保持幼儿园教室无屏幕.
- 小班教学:我们希望我们最小的学习者感受到关心和了解, which is why our student-to-teacher ratios stay low: pre-K3 is 8:1, pre-K4 和 transitional kindergarten are 10:1.
我们的 米德兰公园, 新泽西, preschool 和 elementary campus features an outdoor play area, a gymnasium, 和 a media center.
