About Lea's Preschool

Lion Cub News

The Teddy Bears class is the younger preschool classroom comprised of three-year-olds. We have a weekly theme based on the seasons, holidays, and celebrations. In addition, we have a Christian, Bible-based curriculum every month. We incorporate the theme into the classroom materials used in both the teacher-directed and children-directed activities. We plan activities according to the children’s interests and skills.

Our curriculum provide a wide variety of activities that help children grow cognitively, creatively, physically, socio-emotionally, and spiritually.
Our goals include:
• to develop literacy and cognitive skills
• to enhance creativity
• to improve gross motor and fine motor skills
• to promote socio-emotional skills such as independence, responsibility, problem-solving, and discipline
• to learn about God

We believe that children learn through play and social interactions. We encourage establishing good relationships and building strong friendships founded in respect for others.

We also have special activities such as Sulphur Creek Nature Center Visit, Hayward Public Library Reading Time, Kid Fitness, and Chapel. We implement a well-balanced child growth and development. With these in mind, we value that each child is unique in his or her own way.

The Lion Cub class at Lea’s Christian School is a Pre-K class for children who will be entering kindergarten the following year. The class is a play based environment where children can flourish emotionally, socially, physically, spiritually, and cognitively. The schedule and curriculum encourage children to develop the skills to organize, work independently, follow directions, and feel confident in their abilities.

A variety of learning experiences are offered in a structured loving environment. Early literacy, math, and science are incorporated into daily activities. Field trips enhance lessons and provide an educational variety. There are special activities such as Kid Fitness, Chapel services, assemblies, classroom parties, multi-cultural activities, and a school musical. The Lion Cub class has an eight to one teacher-student ratio.
