3 - 4 - 5 years

Attendance

Because routine is important at this age, we ask you to make every effort to attend the same service each Sunday.

Class Level Assignment

Assignment to class level is by birth date, NOT AGE. Check with the Preschool Resource Room, NE109, for your child’s classroom location.

Curriculum

Our curriculum is from Lifeway. It is designed to teach your child at his/her level of understanding. Learning centers, Bible stories and other hands-on activities which focus on the lesson’s Bible aim are used each session. We also supply weekly parent/child take-home materials in all of the classes.

Check in/Check out

When you drop off your child at his/her classroom, the teacher will give you a numbered security card. That number can be displayed in the Northwest Center in the event you are needed or by beeper or phone in Adult Bible Fellowship rooms. A child can only be reclaimed by the person who returns this card to the teacher. Before you leave your child, please make sure your parent location card is correct.

Promotion/Advancement

Class level advancement occurs only once a year in August. Please do not advance your child until the date is announced.

Good-Byes

Bring your child to the classroom, give a good-bye hug or kiss, and leave him/her with teachers. It is normal for children to cry at separation. This does not usually last long. Teachers and parent helpers will try to help your child feel loved and welcome. If the child continues to cry after 15 minutes, you will be called to the classroom.

Toys

Toys should not be brought from home. They may be misplaced or broken. We have equipped each classroom with a wide variety of toys and manipulatives suitable for the assigned age level.

Snacks

We provide crackers or cookies and water to drink. If you do not wish your child to have these, please indicate this information to the teacher or parent helper. Please make the Preschool Office aware of any food allergies.

Regarding Your Child’s Health

For the protection of all the children, we cannot accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other signs of illness. Remember, there is an incubation period for most diseases.

Please do not put your child in any of the preschool facilities while they are at risk of exposing other children. Thank you in advance for helping us keep our room a healthy place for all.

Note: Children will at times become ill very suddenly. Should your child show any symptoms, we will contact you in your class or service. It is imperative that you not leave the church campus while your child is in our care. In the event that an emergency would require your attention you should be readily available.

Parent Involvement

We would like to include you in your child’s experience here at Casas. We ask preschool parents to assist one or more times each month. Teacher training sessions are held during the year. You are invited to attend and become better acquainted with us. The Preschool Office calls parents and helps assign them to a preschool classroom. We greatly appreciate your help in the classroom.

Offering Envelopes

Preschool offering envelopes are available in your child’s classroom. Parents are encouraged to ask for a supply and begin teaching their children to give.
