Elmwood Christian Preschool

As a Christian preschool, God is honored and introduced as the Creator of our world and Jesus as our Lord and Savior. There are monthly Christian themes taught through stories and songs and daily prayers at snack or lunchtime, as well as modeling caring and kindness towards others. We hope these experiences will be naturally integrated into your childs life. Elmwood Christian Preschool provides an environment conducive to the optimal spiritual, social, physical and intellectual development of each child. We have a curriculum that is child-centered and developmentally appropriate, which incorporates daily opportunities for individual as well as group activities, quiet and active play choices, imaginative play, problem-solving skills, literature and both large and small muscle activities. We believe preschool children are active learners who learn through play. A variety of fun, hands-on learning activities and experiences are planned according to a calendar of themes and units.

The goal of the Elmwood Christian Preschool is to foster a stable environment where children work, play, share, and socialize. With one-on-one attention and positive reinforcement, children feel successful. Through understanding, respect, and exciting learning opportunities, the children build self-esteem and confidence. Warm, positive relationships with adults help children develop a sense of trust and a feeling of worth. We incorporate a spirit of cooperation, not competition. All social interactions are viewed as opportunities for learning to care about one another and ourselves.

With proper guidance, children learn to solve problems, become independent, and respect the ideas and feelings of others. We want children to leave Elmwood Christian Preschool with the confidence and skills necessary to succeed socially and academically.
