We offer a nurturing and faith-centered environment designed to foster a love for learning in young children.

Guided by Christian values, we focus on building a strong foundation in literacy, math, and social skills, while encouraging curiosity and a sense of wonder about God’s world. With small class sizes and experienced, caring teachers, your child will receive the personalized attention they need to thrive and grow both academically and spiritually.

Pre-K / Kindergarten Program

​​At Star Christian Academy, we believe that the early years of a child’s life are the most important for building a strong foundation for both academic and spiritual growth. Our Pre-K / Kindergarten program is designed to nurture the whole child—intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually—through a balanced approach to learning that integrates Christian values and academic development.

​

Our Approach to Learning

Our Pre-K / Kindergarten program provides a safe, loving, and enriching environment where young learners can grow in their faith and their education. We offer a Christ-centered curriculum that emphasizes hands-on experiences and fosters a love for learning. Through play, exploration, and discovery, children are encouraged to develop their curiosity and build important foundational skills.

​

Guided by our Christian faith, we teach our students to see the world through the lens of God’s love, equipping them with values like kindness, patience, and respect for others. Each day in class is an opportunity for children to learn about themselves, their world, and the Creator who made them.

​

Curriculum Highlights

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare young learners for grades beyond, focusing on the following key areas:

  • Early Literacy: Through stories, songs, and rhymes, children develop early reading and writing skills, laying the groundwork for future literacy.

  • Mathematics: We introduce foundational math concepts such as counting, number recognition, and simple addition and subtraction, all while making learning fun and engaging.

  • Social-Emotional Development: Our program places a strong emphasis on teaching children to recognize and manage their emotions, communicate effectively, and build healthy relationships with peers.

  • Faith-Based Learning: Children learn Bible stories, prayers, and Christian values that help them understand their faith and apply it to their everyday lives.

  • Creative Exploration: With arts and crafts, music, and movement, children have opportunities to express themselves and explore their creativity.

  • Motor Skills: Through play and structured activities, children develop both fine and gross motor skills, preparing them for more advanced physical activities.

 

A Day in the Life of a Student

Our Pre-K / Kindergarten students experience a balanced, structured day filled with both individual and group activities. Here’s a glimpse of a typical day:

  • Morning Welcome and Prayer: We begin each day with a warm greeting, followed by a prayer to start our day with God’s blessing.

  • Circle Time: Children gather for Bible stories, songs, and group discussions, helping them build listening skills and a sense of community.

  • Academic Activities: Students participate in hands-on learning activities focused on literacy, math, and problem-solving.

  • Snack and Playtime: Time for snacks and play where children develop social skills, teamwork, and physical coordination.

  • Creative Learning: Arts, crafts, and music activities provide opportunities for self-expression and exploration.

  • Storytime: Each day ends with a calming story, reinforcing values learned throughout the day.

​​

Enrichment Activities

In addition to the core curriculum, students participate in special enrichment activities that make learning even more exciting:

  • Music and Movement: Children develop rhythm and coordination through singing, dancing, and playing instruments.

  • Bible Lessons: Daily Bible lessons help students learn about God’s love and how to apply His teachings in their lives.

  • Outdoor Exploration: Students engage in walks and hands-on learning about God’s creation.
