CLC is a traditional play-based preschool. We understand that experiences in the first 5 years become the building blocks for school readiness – both from a skills perspective, as well as positive relationships with adults and peers.
We follow a school-year schedule, beginning the Tuesday following Labor Day and ending mid June. – Download calendar under Parent Resources.
We offer 6 weeks of Summer Play Days – a theme-based camp experience for children 12 months through entering Kindergarten.
CLC is accredited through the National Accreditation Commission.
Curriculum
Our teachers are trained to use a resource from Teaching Strategies® called “Objectives for Development & Learning: Birth Through Kindergarten.” This resource guides teachers to better understand how each child is developing along a continuum. As teachers observe children in the classroom, they tailor the curriculum to meet each child’s individual needs.
Cognitive Development
Math, science, social studies, health and safety, creative expression and application
Social-Emotional Development
Expressing emotions appropriately, being cooperative members of a group, being successful at school
Language Development
Verbal expression, building vocabulary, phonological awareness, print awareness, letter knowledge
Physical Development
Gross, fine, and visual motor skills, Handwriting Without Tears
Spiritual Development
Awareness of God’s love, appreciation for God’s world, and love and concern for God’s people
Enrichments
Each week children two years and up participate in Music, Movement, and Spanish. Children ages three and up also participate in Chapel once a week. In addition, many classes visit and check out books in our children’s library.
