About Us

You can reach us directly by calling 913-764-2407.

Our Goal:
To provide a safe, nurturing, Christian environment where young children can explore and discover, through age appropriate activities, the wonders of God’s world.

Program Objectives:

  • To provide young children a positive experience in what is often their first involvement with an organized program away from their parents.
  • To help children see themselves as God’s special creation: competent, unique and loveable.
  • To nurture children’s natural excitement for exploration, discovery and learning.
  • To help develop children’s skills for interacting with other people: children and adults.
  • To foster children’s abilities and interest in books, art, language, cognitive skills, large and small motor activities, and music.

Our Philosophy:
Recognizing that the family is the most significant influence in a young child’s life, we strive to strengthen, complement and enrich the experiences and opportunities already provided to each child. Further, we strive to give each child the freedom to extend previous skills and to develop new skills within the warm and loving environment of a Christian preschool.
Our curriculum is designed to provide a variety of experiences suited to the developmental level and maturity of each child and recognizes that play is the universal language of children. Our developmental approach recognizes that children develop and reach specific stages of growth in an orderly and predictable manner. Each child is unique in his or her developmental growth time sequence.

Curriculum:
Aldersgate Preschool and Discovery Day programs follow a curriculum designed to meet the needs, interests and developmental levels of children. We endeavor to foster each child’s growth in the following skill areas:

  • Social/Emotional Growth
    is nurtured through activities and expectations that promote the development of a positive self-image and increased self discipline and social skills required for positive interaction with peers and adults.
  • Spiritual Growth
    is enhanced through witnessing adults conducting themselves in a compassionate, loving and generous manner with every child, parent and co-worker. Children will be introduced to general Christian concepts through prayer, story and song.
  • Language Growth
    is developed through various opportunities for children to have fun with language and to practice verbal skills. Children are encouraged to participate in stories, songs, finger plays, personal interactions and drama.
  • Physical Growth
    is encouraged through activities which promote both large and fine motor coordination. The facility is designed to provide ample space for freedom of movement and the curriculum provides a balance of periods for both quiet and active play.
  • Cognitive Growth
    is stimulated by an environment rich in materials that are developmentally appropriate and stimulating. Activities and various centers are developed in order to promote curiosity and creativity according to the individual abilities and readiness of each child.
  • Self Help/School Readiness Growth
    is encouraged in order that each child will become more independent and develop skills that facilitate a positive school experience both at Aldersgate Preschool and in future educational settings.
