SODC PRESCHOOL

We believe that movement is one of the most important building blocks in child development. We pride ourselves at SODCs Preschool program on providing children the opportunity to learn, grow through music, dance, and art in a safe loving environment.

SODC Preschool is an excellent choice for children aged 3-5. It not only provides a nurturing environment for their skill development but also offers parents valuable work time while their little ones engage in exciting and educational activities!

Class Is In Session!

On Tuesdays, the children will attend dance classes consisting of Tap and Ballet. Thursday calls for a tumbling and movement class that includes obstacle courses, stretching exercises, and free movement time to allow kiddos to discover what their bodies can do!

The academic portion of our program is just as noteworthy! The whole-child learning approach captivates our student’s minds and encourages an active part in their learning experience. Our activities foster hands-on learning, group discussion and sharing time, and a mix of small and large group instruction. The class is taken through shapes and colors, letter and letter-sound instruction, number recognition, and a host of other language arts and mathematical concepts along with weekly theme units.

 

Our students learn through a combination of songs, crafts, seatwork, and games. What truly sets us apart from other programs is our engaging blend of hands-on academic and movement curriculum and our ability to provide a place where each child is seen as a unique child of God.
