Education is a life-long pursuit. You never stop learning, growing, expanding, pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, or exploring the next rise over the hill. By enrolling your children in Premier Christian Academy’s pre-K program, you are not only setting your child up for success in kindergarten, but you are giving them a life-long love of learning. When every discovery is treated like Columbus’ discovery of the New World and every question is answered with surprising clarity, children’s minds open up to the possibility of the world. But more importantly, children believe from a young age that anything is possible — and it’s this belief that will help them for whatever life has to offer.

At Premier Christian Academy in Prosper, we use the award-winning Abeka curriculum to teach history, science, reading, and math, giving children not only a solid foundation in the basics of learning but also teaching them about God as well. Kids have a place in this world and realizing that at a young age gives them a foundation to stand on. Below, we’ll go over some of our top reasons why we believe enrolling your child in a pre-K program is essential to maximize their growth potential. Contact us today to get started!

TOP BENEFITS OF KINDERGARTEN READINESS PROGRAMS

Foundational Skills

Giving kids a solid foundation in the basics (reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as other disciplines) will set them up for future success. This also boosts their confidence as they will know just as much as the kid sitting next to them. Being biblically based, Premier Christian Academy also teaches children biblical truths and foundations for them to build upon as they get older.

Social Skills

Probably by now, you as a parent may be tired of hearing how pre-k builds social skills, but there is so much that plays into social skills. First, it gives kids the sense that they are not the center of the world. Other kids matter as well, whose feelings matter, and who have a say in what happens. Teaching kids the value of teamwork, how to share, how to have patience, and how to have self-control are all lifelong skills that kids need to grow into properly functioning adults. Premier Christian Academy stresses the holistic child and his or her place in this world.

Uses The Abeka Curriculum

For students in pre-kindergarten classes at Premier Christian Academy, the focus is to have a strong foundation in reading by the time they enter Kindergarten. Students will learn the following:

• Utilization in Phonics to blend letters that best support writing and reading.
• Review in short vowels and proper pronunciation.
• Reading three-letter words that are carefully selected to provide a solid understanding and form a strong base for reading.
• Long vowels are also introduced and additional individual instruction is provided to students to begin to recognize and read words.
• Begin to read sentences with one and two-vowel words.
• Daily assignments expand each child’s knowledge of numbers, their values, and concepts to form a strong base to begin the learning process of simple addition and subtraction.
• Bible lessons provide children with life-learning lessons and help children to be able to connect behavioral and core understandings about the world we live in, our place in this world, and how we care for ourselves and others in our world today.
• Lessons in History, Social Studies, and Science help children to understand the world they live in and to gain a larger view of the world as a whole and how it relates to them in the places they live.

By the end of the pre-kindergarten year, children who have attended Premier Christian Academy in Northlake and Prosper are fully prepared to enter kindergarten and continue their education with a strong academic foundation firmly set in place and a newfound love for learning that can be utilized for a lifetime.
