La Casa De Cristo Christian Preschool
Preschool in Scottsdale, AZ 85254
Our Christian Preschool is for young three-year olds through Pre-Kindergarten. This is a Preschool and not a daycare facility. Classes meet in a specially designed one-story building to the rear of the church campus.
Curriculum consists of monthly learning units, which are appropriate to the development level of the various age groups as well as individual children. These units provide a well-rounded and progressive learning experience for each child. Learning centers, which correspond with these areas are available to each child as an important part of the daily schedule. Each child will be encouraged to begin a project and to complete it.
Spiritual development is encouraged in ways that are meaningful to the child. Daily Christian Education activities (prayer, songs, stories, projects, etc.) are incorporated within the daily schedule. In addition, all classes will visit the Sanctuary once a month for Kid Talk with a Pastor or member of the pastoral staff.
Also included within the daily schedule are enrichment programs, which coordinate with classroom activities and learning topics. The Pint Size P. E. Program emphasizes gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and spatial/body awareness. The Music Enrichment Program provides the basics in rhythm and beat, and music appreciation for the classics through modern childrens music. Lunch Bunch is an optional program designed to provide a social atmosphere for the children enrolled in the program. Lunch is parent provided. Lunch Bunch is offered Monday through Friday and children may attend one or any combination of days provided they are on days they are enrolled in school. Students must be registered separately and there is an additional fee. Discovery Time Hour is a theme-based, curricular additional hour immediately following Lunch Bunch on the day it is offered. Students registering for this class must be at least four years old by December 31 of the current school year and must also be enrolled in that day of Lunch Bunch.

It is the philosophy and firm belief of La Casa de Cristo Christian Preschool that each child is a unique person with special needs and abilities. It is our overall goal to encourage the growth of the whole child through physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual development. Specifically to:
- physically help each child to grow in perceptual motor skills and development.
- socially provide an environment where each child is given the opportunity to develop peer relationships, learning to cooperate, respect, share and care for their new friends.
- emotionally encourage, accept and support each child as they grow in developing a positive self-image.
- cognitively provide hands on, appropriate experiences that enhance discovery, conceptualization, creativity and communication. To have age appropriate experiences in language, math, science, cooking, art, and social studies.
- spiritually emphasize a rich heritage of Christianity and show each child that he/she is secure in Gods abiding love and care.
A daily schedule of both teacher-directed and child-directed activities serve to reinforce, enrich, motivate, and challenge in an environment where each child is respected as an individual.
