Welcome to St. John's Early Childhood Learning Center!
Pre- K is a special place where little things mean a lot! We are busy learning to navigate the world. Along the way we learn how to be a good friend, share and make good choices. We learn how to take care of ourselves and be independent. We learn how to hop, skip and jump. We learn our letters, numbers, shapes and colors. We learn about God and how much he loves each of us. It is hard work but we love it!
Here at St. John's Pre-K we help your child discover their world. We know that Pre-K is a milestone for you and your child. Together we will nuture and enrich your child's social and emotional developement and help them to begin their academic skills. Using engaging whole group lessons, center based instruciton and technology to enhance their academic development we will prepare your child for Kindergarten.
Learning through play is an important atmosphere in Pre-K. Our play based enviorment enbales your child to develop their social and cognitive skills and gain the self-confidence that will allow them to be successful in school."Play is the highest form of research"...Albert Einstein -
Welcome to the St. John's Family!

Classroom Times
Our Week
We have been very busy here in Pre-K! We are working hard learning to navigate our classroom and all the tools that we have. Every morning we “check in” by finding, sand tracing and using our clothes pins to spell our name. In the next few week we will be transitioning to writing our names! Last week was “all about me week”, we had so much fun learning about all our new friends and how special we are. This week we are studying the letter “F” for family and friends. Each time we study a letter we will read stories and learn a cheer. We will also do a sticker letter, bubble letter and water color letter. These tasks not only help us learn the letter of the week they help us with important fine motor skills we need write. We have also introduced scissor skills at our morning centers. Next week we will be working more with scissors and cutting. All of the “fun” things we do in our centers are working towards strengthening our fine motor skills
We have all our media releases in so look for pictures here and on our Facebook page.
