Faithful Beginnings at Saint Peter Catholic School’s curriculum is carefully planned to be flexible and to help meet each child’s needs. This encourages the growth of the whole child based on their unique abilities and interests.
We provide this by
● Providing a nurturing, flexible, and peaceful environment.
● Providing an environment in which the foundation of respect for others is established.
● Developing an active curiosity about the world in which each child lives and an enthusiasm for learning.
● Providing a wide variety of activities with a structured environment where cooperative play is encouraged.
● Supporting the spiritual growth of young learners by deepening their relationship with Jesus and building on the foundation of their faith.
We provide an environment that fosters spiritual growth wherein children will experience the power and beauty of the Catholic faith and grow in their budding relationship with Jesus. Preschoolers are invited to weekly Catechesis of the Good Shepherd classes.
We foster an environment where children can experience and develop safe, supportive relationships with their peers and teachers.
We meet the young child’s enthusiasm for knowing and understanding by creating an environment and experiences driven by a pure and true sense of inquiry that fosters discovery, exploration, wonder and growth in all areas of development.
Children’s gains in language development are nurtured and supported in a wide variety of ways. Books, posters, songs, writing materials, and posters are a part of our learning environment that enrich children’s language.
So much physical growth happens between three and five years old. Therefore, you will find children running and climbing, bouncing balls, and building with big blocks. Children will also be cutting, stringing beads, playing with play doh, and doing puzzles.
We provide an environment that fosters growth in self-awareness and self-esteem. Children have opportunities to share and recognize and express emotions throughout the day in order to develop a self-control and positive interactions with peers and teachers.
