Pre-K
The Agape Pre-K program is funded by the Department of Alberta Education. A diagnosis with mild/moderate in one area of development is needed. This can be completed through an assessment from a Physician, Speech Pathologist, or other therapists. Additional funding is available for children with severe needs. There is also an option for a parent paid enrolment for a child without a diagnosis.
The first class is on Mondays and Wednesdays and the second class is Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Both classes run from 8:30-3:30 p.m. Parents will provide a lunch and 2 snacks and a water bottle for their child each day.
Philosophy
Pre-K believes that an Early Education Program for children should meet and enhance each child’s social, cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. Play is an important role in the learning process of the child so it is a major component of the program. Our focus in all activities will be the process rather than the product. We are more concerned with the exploration and experience of the task rather than the outcome. We cover all areas of development throughout the program.
Learning centers provide focus on play, some of which include house, sand, water, science, listening, books, puzzles, woodworking, etc. The centres are based around the observation of the children’s interests and abilities. Devotions, reading Christian books, praying and singing are a part of each preschool day.
