Welcome!
St. Barnabas Christian Preschool offers fun-filled Christian-based learning to encourage the intellectual growth and emotional development.
Philosophy
It is the philosophy of this preschool that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery, preschool children are creative and receptive; the program strives to nurture and encourage those qualities in its students. It is also felt that this is an appropriate time to begin nurturing a relationship with God.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is aligned with the Illinois Early Learning Standards.
Each day starts with prayer. We have sharing and conversation time, stories, songs and finger plays. Our curriculum includes creative art projects and crafts, physical activity games and large muscle activities. We also teach science and explore with nature activities.
Children will be exposed to shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and sounds. We also have bi-monthly Stretch-n-Grow classes twice a month and a Gym Kids program.
