Martin Reformed Church Preschool

Every Child is a Gift From God

 

Curriculum

At Martin Reformed Church Preschool, we focus on the whole child to help each student grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, academically and physically. We strive to help students love learning through hands-on, interactive activities. In addition, we practice and build skills that students will need for kindergarten. We are guided by Michigan's Early Childhood Standards of Quality for monthly units of study that encompass a number of learning objectives from Michigan's Early Childhood Standards. We also create experiences and activities that help students reach developmental milestones.

 

*Martin Reformed Church Preschool is licensed by the State of Michigan.

 
 
  • Each day children have the opportunity to sing worship songs, listen to a devotion and pray. Biblical truths are also woven into the programs throughout the year.

  • At Martin Reformed Church Preschool we use Zoo-Phonics, a fun, engaging program that helps students learn letters and sounds. The program matches an animal and motion to each letter and sound. Students learn lowercase letters in order from A to Z. This program engages students' eyes, ears, mouth and body as they learn, which makes learning fun and helps all types of learners.
