Our Preschool

The DCLC preschool program introduces your child to critical learning concepts that they will be exposed to in K–12 education, including art, music, math, science, dramatic play, literacy and more. Our teachers utilize personal instruction, computer based learning programs, and a proven curriculum that will give your child many advantages in K–12 education.  We offer full-time preschool, as well as our part time “Little Lambs” program.

Preschool 1 Room

Ages: 33 months–3 years
Licensed for: 10 children  (1:10)

Daily Schedule

The preschool schedule is a little more flexible in order to meet changing program needs such as field trips or special events when they present themselves.

In preschool there are many opportunities to develop in the areas of language, science, math, art, and music. Social skills are important, as they are getting closer to going to school. At this age, early childhood assessments become an integral part of measuring your child’s developmental milestones. Early detection is considered priority if special needs arise. This is also where Early Childhood Screening for Kindergarten will take place with the school district your children will be attending.

DCLC maintains a no-time-out policy, which encourages children in preschool to either use their problem solving skills or be redirected by their teacher. We teach, practice, and demonstrate conflict resolution as teachers direct, role play, and re-enact the situations.

Preschool II Room

Ages: 4 years–kindergarten
Licensed for: 25 children (1:10)

Daily Schedule

We designed our preschool curriculum to prepare children to enter kindergarten. We also strive to prepare children spiritually, so they have a foundation to build on for a lifetime. Our hope is that each child graduates from our classroom personally experiencing the love of Jesus Christ and is familiar with the Word of God.

Children change a lot socially during this age—learning a lot about themselves and their peers. They learn how to express themselves and resolve problems. They also start to accept structure and understand routine, while still embracing creative play.

Children will be in this classroom until kindergarten.
