Horizon Christian Preschool

Early Childhood Education Programs at Sherwood
Preschool:
We offer two age specific programs designed for preschoolers ages three and four. We are very excited about the curriculum we are using called The InvestiGator Club. This literacy rich program builds alphabet recognition and phonemic awareness. Children experiment with basic math concepts through a hands-on curriculum which includes counting, classifying, comparing, sorting, patterning, one-to-one correspondence and number recognition. Creative play and the use of different art media encourage experimenting and problem solving.
Monthly field trips are taken by each class to enhance the curriculum theme. Along with our curriculum we have a Bible story and memory verse each week. Once a week our students attend chapel.
Pre-Kindergarten Programs:
These programs are designed for students who will be entering Kindergarten the next school year. The classes emphasize emergent literacy, pre-writing, pre-reading, phonemic awareness and basic math concepts. Each program is structured to develop skills in positive work habits, following directions, working independently, and strengthen listening skills and encouraging personal responsibility. Our desire is to prepare students to meet the State of Oregon kindergarten entry benchmarks.

Here at Horizon Christian Preschool we strive to help children:
Grow in their relationship with Jesus
Feel loved and nurtured
Develop self-confidence
Learn academic skills which bring Life to Learning
Develop positive social skills
