And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man - Luke 2:52

Growing in Wisdom

Growing in wisdom is referred to today as cognitive development.  It is not our desire to test, compare or pressure children into learning.  Instead we try to guide children to a level of learning in line with their development.

The Porter Preschool and Kindergarten programs us the ABeka curriculum, which is a Christian based curriculum used throughout the country.  Areas of study include:  counting, comprehension, phonics, time/day/week, colors, etc..

Children are encouraged and challenged with daily learning activities.  Art is used in the classroom as a means of encouraging their creativity.

Growing in Stature

Just as Jesus grew stronger and developed motor skills, we also want children to develop in these areas.  We have a daily gym time in which children participate in free play as well as structured play.  Proper physical development is essential for preschoolers.  They run, throw and jump to develop gross motor skills.  Competition games are used sparingly with a main emphasis placed on cooperation games.  The main objective to this time is FUN!  We want the children to enjoy themselves so much that they have no idea they are learning.

Growing in Favor with God

Children learn basic biblical truths such as:          

God loves me

God made me

God made the world

God loves everyone

Jesus loves me

Jesus is a friend

Jesus' birth

Church is a good place

The Bible tells me about God

I should obey my parents

God wants me to share

Jesus is now living in heaven

The Bible is a special book   

Growing in Favor with Others   

Socialization skills are essential in the development of every child.  This vital aspect is developed and encourage at Porter Preschool and Kindergarten.  Sharing skills are nurtured and friendships are developed.  Children are encouraged to practice the "Golden Rule" in treating others as they would like to be treated.  Children will also learn about their community, including what policemen do, what firemen do and to recognize traffic signs.  Field trips are taken throughout the year, allowing children to experience and explore their world.  The Porter Memorial Baptist Preschool and Kindergarten programs desire that learning experiences translate into actions.   For that is truly when a teacher knows a student has learned.
