Overview:

Embark on a journey of exceptional education and spiritual growth by enrolling your child in Oaks Academy Preschool. Our commitment to quality education with a Biblical foundation ensures a safe and enriching environment for your little one's development. With a customized curriculum catering to each age group, we foster a nurturing atmosphere where young minds flourish. Rooted deeply in Christian values, our program seamlessly integrates teachings of Jesus Christ into various activities, including Bible studies, phonics, and numeracy. Through hands-on exploration, children cultivate crucial skills like motor coordination, critical thinking, and visual awareness. Our holistic approach spans art, music, physical education, science, and even Spanish, laying a robust foundation for academic success. Above all, we prioritize a culture of love, kindness, and safety, ensuring every child thrives under our attentive care. Join us at Oaks Academy Preschool for an unparalleled blend of education and faith-based nurturing.

Teachers:

As Christian directors and teachers, we take seriously the trust that parents place in us to care for their children. Our staff are experienced, loving, and nurturing early childhood educators. All our staff are chosen not only for their experience and education but also for their loving, caring attitudes toward children and their commitment to Christ. All staff receive CPR/First Aid training. Everyone that is employed by Oaks Academy Preschool has been fingerprinted and background checked.

Curriculum:

Our staff provide age-appropriate learning experiences that are biblically based and promote growth and development in the following areas: motor skills, social interactions, emotional development, language skills, and early literacy and math skills. Children are offered structure, security, and independence by following established daily routines. Independent learning takes place during free play in centers such as dramatic (pretend) play, blocks/building, art/writing, books/reading, and manipulatives/puzzles. Our teachers use a Bible-based curriculum. Additionally, the children will attend chapel once a week.

Classroom Technology:

All the preschool classrooms will be equipped with smart TVs that are linked to technological resources provided by the teacher. However, the TV time will be limited to 30 minutes each day. We are focusing more on the learning and teaching process that technology enables. During their daily lessons, teachers can take their students on virtual "field trips" to any part of the world. This way, students can engage in singing, reading, and interacting with online resources, which makes the learning process much more enjoyable.

Beliefs and Values:

Beliefs:

Holy Spirit - We believe the Holy Spirit works in the life of believers and in the church today testifying of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The gifts of the Spirit are available today and are manifested in the church through signs, miracles, and wonders.

Water Baptism - We believe in water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Salvation - We believe that salvation is experienced only by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by human effort or works.

Bible - We believe The Bible is the inerrant inspired and infallible word of God.

Trinity - We believe in one God eternally existing in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus - We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.  We also believe that Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead.  We believe that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.

Values:
- We believe that it's the presence of the Holy Spirit that draws people into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
- The presence of the Holy Spirit produces in people a passion for their purpose here on earth.  

How will the academy ensure a safe and secure environment for students?

Oaks Academy Preschool will be secured at all times with professional security personnel. This, along with other safeguards will allow us to better care for your child when they arrive on campus.
