St. John's Four-Year-Old Program offers students the opportunity to learn, play, and grow in a warm and caring environment. A theme-based curriculum is used to foster learning in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Music, and Art. Emphasis is placed on reading and math readiness skills. Children learn the alphabet in order from A to Z using a "Letter of the Week" approach. Open Court Alphabet Sound Cards and interactive poems help the students learn to relate sounds to letters. Beginning handwriting skills are introduced. Math readiness is taught through a variety of hands-on learning activities including counting, sorting, and making patterns with blocks, beads, and other small manipulatives.
A typical day includes a balance of structured learning experiences as well as opportunities for participation in free-play, arts and crafts, music, and drama. Group activities are used to promote the development of strong social skills and positive peer relationships. Playground time outside or music and movement activities inside make physical exercise a part of each day.
Using The Story curriculum, the students are nurtured spiritually during daily devotion time. A Chapel service with singing and a children's message is offered weekly on Wednesday mornings. Regular visits to the school library to check out books are scheduled throughout the year.
