Day School
Emmanuel Baptist Day School is a wonderful place for children to experience school life. We offer a well-balanced meaningful curriculum that incorporates academic, social, creative and spiritual learning. Children engage in age-appropriate activities where they become active and involved in their own learning.
Here at Emmanuel Baptist, the Pre-K child emerges as a happy, creative individual eager to continue learning, discovering and absorbing the world around him.
​
We integrate motor, social, emotional, language and cognitive development through widely divergent learning experiences. Developmental skills are taught through weekly thematic units that enhance children’s interest and enthusiasm for learning. The children experience a print-rich environment that fosters phonological awareness and is conducive to pre-reading skills.
Language development and discovery learning are integrated throughout the school day.
Literacy is nurtured by learning to write the manuscript alphabet.
Math skills are taught using a hands-on: “theme based” curriculum.
Multi-sensory experiences allow the pre-k child to develop concepts and problem solving skills and express oneself in a warm and relaxing atmosphere.
Individual & Cooperative Play
Individual and cooperative plays are a very important part of our program. Classroom activity centers allow for movement, exploration and integration of content. Children’s curiosity is enhanced when they are involved in their own learning through exploration and experimentation of their environment. Pre-K children bring classroom learning experiences to life through unit based field trips. Opportunities for spiritual growth come from monthly visits to the chapel led by our pastor.
Music & Enrichment
Children attend music classes weekly where they are exposed to a variety of musical genres. We also offer “enrichment classes” on Wednesdays.
