Pre-K - Shepherd Christian School

EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Young children are innately curious and eager to learn. They delight in play, movement, and exploring their surroundings. In Pre-Kindergarten at SCS, students engage in a Christ-centered education that fosters the development of essential skills and tools for their academic, spiritual, and social growth. The SCS Early Learning Center offers a safe and nurturing environment where young learners discover awe and wonder in God's created world. This experience cultivates a lifelong passion for learning.

Instruction Coupled with Play

Instruction Coupled with Play: This approach is effective in engaging students and promoting active learning. When instruction is combined with play, students are more likely to retain information and develop critical thinking skills.

Experiential Learning

Experiential Learning: Providing hands-on experiences allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations. Whether through field trips, experiments, or real-world projects, experiential learning enhances understanding and retention.

Campus Exploration

Campus Exploration: A 32-acre campus with diverse natural elements (stream, forest, fields) offers an ideal setting for exploration and discovery. Students can learn about ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental science firsthand.

Dedicated Playgrounds and Gymnasium

Dedicated Playgrounds and Gymnasium: These spaces are essential for physical activity, social interaction, and skill development. Playgrounds encourage creativity, while gymnasiums support sports, fitness, and teamwork.

Special Classes

Specials Classes: Enrichment classes like Innovation/STEM, music, physical education, Soccer Shots and art enhance students' overall education. They provide opportunities for self-expression, creativity, and skill-building beyond core subjects.
