                                                              Children at Mission Nazarene Preschool benefit from a full developmental curriculum that meets their emotional, physical, social, intellectual and spiritual needs.  

                                                              By now your child is ready to explore the world around them. This is an important year for your child in terms of expanding their language and developing a sense of worth and independence. We will offer your child many opportunities to grow and develop social, cognitive and physical skills. To develop these skills we plan many singing, music, art and sensory acitivities for your child to experience. 

                                                              Caregivers collaborate to provide your child the ultimate experience. Curriculum planning and implemantation is executed by all caregivers in the classroom. 

                                                              The entire curriculum and program of Mission Nazarene Preschool is designed to foster self-esteem and decision making abilities that promote the development of your child. We have compiled age appropriate lists for each stage of your child's development and included them in the corresponding classrooms. These are goals our teachers strive to achieve with your child while in the TURTLES class:
