THE PRE-K/KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM

MJCA is a community in which parents, staff and students strengthen each other in living out the gospel of Jesus Christ in teaching and learning. The MJCA Preschool Program is one of new beginnings. The goal of our preschool program is to open up a whole new world of learning for your child. Our teachers provide an atmosphere of belonging with love, compassion, warmth and fairness.

Pre-School

MJCA offers preschool for 3-year olds and 4-year olds. It is a blended program of Christ-centered academics and social development presented in a creative and playful manner. At MJCA students are viewed as God's children, created in His image to be molded, developed and encouraged to use their talents and gifts for a life of responsible Christian service.

In pre-school we strive to:

Provide a safe, caring environment in which children can discover, explore, and learn about themselves, others, and the world that God created
Model and encourage the love of God
Provide a basic foundation for your child's future education
Provide an opportunity for cooperative play and learning
Provide each child with learning experiences in music, art, reading, math and writing inspire creative development
Build a positive self-concept
Instill in each child the knowledge of their value as a precious child of God

Kindergarten

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Our goals are to:

Provide a Christian atmosphere where God's love is openly expressed
Ensure a smooth transition from home to school
Inspire language development
Allow for plenty of opportunities at cooperative learning and play
Provide a solid academic foundation
Design our program so all children have the opportunity to feel the joy of achievement
