Master's Christian Preschool

Curriculum
The curriculum is designed to foster social, emotional and educational development in a well-rounded educational program based on Christian values. The curriculum is structured with developmentally appropriate activities for each individual age level in accordance with the Illinois Early Learning Standards. Beginning with our Two year old program through our Pre-Kindergarten class we offer experiences that foster growth and skills needed to succeed upon entry to Kindergarten. The curriculum focuses on the development of independence and academic skills through learning centers, structured activities, socialization, cooperative and dramatic play, exploration and problem solving. The activities provided build self confidence and reinforce a strong self esteem. The teachers provide a plethora of activities that encourage the children to explore their environment and gain knowledge from those experiences.

Program
The program is designed for socialization, the building of self-esteem and confidence and the developing of stepping stones to academic skills.
The program offers Specials in which once a month we have visits from Pastor Dave for Bible story, Music Time and Story Time from the Carol Stream Library, and Sports Exploration Day during class time.

We encourage parents to be active participants in our program and offer many different opportunities for them to be engaged with the children.
