Mountain View Lutheran Preschool

The Mountain View Lutheran Preschool curriculum incorporates the academic, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual needs of the young child. The aim is to nurture and teach the whole child and to encourage the attributes for life-long learning. In order to reach this goal, a developmentally appropriate curriculum has been devised. It includes the following attributes:

Active: Hands-on use of manipulatives is the focus, rather than paper and pencil work. Personally Meaningful: The program builds on what the child already knows. Experimental: The child learns by doing, talking, and exploring new ideas. Energetic: The teacher encourages curiosity and delight in order to motivate the child. Interactive: Children are encouraged to work together rather than competing against each other. Explorative: We invite the child to discover ideas and principles through the manipulation of objects. Holistic: The program is integrated rather than broken into separated subjects. Constructive: The child is encouraged to use his/her imagination and creative powers in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.
