Christian
Education |
| |
A Christian
education is an atmosphere as well as
specifics; preferred books, audio-visuals,
celebrations interpreted from a Christian
perspective, prayers, songs, music of
all kinds, physical activities, and
storytelling. A child learns when he/she
is guided by loving adults who share
their faith in a way meaningful to children.
We share our faith with children: |
| |
1. |
When
we help them to see themselves as persons
of worth |
| |
2. |
When we provide opportunities
for children to make choices. |
| |
3. |
As we help them become
better stewards of God’s creation |
| |
4. |
When we help them
practice the rule of love in all relationships |
| |
5. |
As we share our attitude
about others |
| |
6. |
When we live life
out with them |
| |
7. |
As we offer hope
when things go wrong |
| |
8. |
When we are willing
to live with them, sharing the richness
of every day living, the hurts, joys,
needs and fulfillment in open and honest
ways |
| |
9. |
As we use the language
of faith in interpreting experiences |
| |
|
|
| To these
ends, at Mt. Zion Preschool/MMO, we
use appropriate Christian education
materials as an ongoing part of our
daily curriculum. |

Our two-year-old

will be two by September 1. We offer
your child a variety of new experiences
geared for his/her stage of development.
Our major goals are developing social
skills, gross motor development, and
language arts. Our curriculum includes
many forms of art, media, music, creative
movement, finger plays, cooking, story
time, Bible devotion, and inside and
outside play experiences. Exposure to
