Our Curriculum:

The Wee Learn Christian curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate for each age group we serve.  Teachers use it as a framework on which they can build a program that allows children to grow and develop as Jesus did - in "wisdom and stature “and in "favor with God and man". (Luke 2:52)

 

Fingerprints incorporates Get Set for School curriculum by Handwriting without Tears and Alphafriends by Houghton Mifflin to prepare our Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten children for elementary school. These curriculums are specifically designed to focus on Language & Literacy, Readiness and Writing and Numbers and Math.

 

Within each classroom you will find a variety of learning centers for the children to explore each day.  They include:

 

Art

Blocks

Books and Listening

Home Living

Music

Nature and Science

Puzzles and Manipulative Elements

Computers (for the older children)

 

Teachers provide time during the day for large group and small group activities.  Spiritual growth is encouraged through Bible stories, devotions, music and worship time and prayer.

 

From time to time, the older children will go on field trips in the community.  We also have special guests come visit the center.

As a working parent myself, I understand the challenges you face.  It is my desire to be of service to you and to support your family.  I welcome any questions or concerns that you may have and believe that open communication helps us serve you better.  I look forward to working in partnership with you and I am confident that together we can provide the support and encouragement needed to help your child excel.

Our Philosophy

Fingerprints believe that children are uniquely created and gifted in diverse ways.  Fingerprints also believe that children should be encouraged and guided as they seek to understand their world.  To help them as they grow and explore, we strive to provide a safe, secure, Christian environment.  At Fingerprints, children are encouraged to learn and develop spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically.

 

Education in the early years should excite curiosity, stimulate creativity, expand intellectual thinking, build strong large/small motor skills, create awareness and help each child better understand themselves and the world around them.  Fingerprints uses the Wee Learn Christian curriculum.  We provide smaller classroom sizes for more individualized attention, developmentally appropriate materials and environments set up with active learning centers.

 

We work as a team with each family in the daily care of their children.  We provide open and honest communication with parents each day, helping to reinforce the positive behaviors in each child.
