These goals include reciting letter sounds, recognizing both capital and lowercase letters, tracing letters and numbers, number formation, counting 1-30 and much more.

New Life Preschool values learning through play and discovery. Our program features daily science and social studies instruction and fun facts that the children learn throughout the school year. A few of the fun facts that they learn are:

Physical Education
Physical Education is very important for the development of large motor skills. New Life Preschool has large motor physical development goals for the students. During the Winter months, the classes have daily gym time and outside play time during the Fall, Spring and Summer months on our well-equipped playground.
Art
In addition to daily opportunity for expression through the classroom art center, students have art classes each week. Students will bring home expressions of themselves and their learning in their art work. Student art is displayed prominently in the classroom each month.
Summer Program
New Life Preschool operates all 12 months of the year. The year is separated into 2 sessions: The Academic School Year and The Summer Day Camp. Our Academic School Year begins at the end of August and is in session through mid-May. The school year features the Abeka curriculum and other special classes. The program changes for Summer Day Camp which runs from the first week of June through the second week of August. The Summer Day Camp is an activity-based program and features weekly themes, projects, activities, and special days with home-connected events. Age-appropriate education concepts are reviewed each week. One of the highlights of the week is “Water Day” where the children have fun water activities in our 10 foot water slide! Our goal is to have a summer of making memories with friends and fun times.
