Curriculum

In the classroom  

Using The Bible, The Creative Curriculum, and Handwriting Without Tears, children in our program will be offered opportunities to meet a variety of Christian, academic, physical, social and emotional goals. The objectives for our 4 and 5 year old programs are designed to prepare a child for kindergarten. The Bible basis of our program will plant seeds for a Christian faith in a child's heart for a lifetime.  In a Christian environment, through healthy play and fun work, children learn the basics in Christian faith, literacy, math, science, social studies, the arts, and technology.  Our goal is to instill a love for learning as early as possible.  Parents are asked to provide a healthy lunch each day to be eaten in the classroom.  WCP will supply a simple snack but ask that parents provide drinks for both lunch and snack time.  Please call for information on food allergy policies.

Out of the classroom  

Children in the 3, 4, and Transitional Kindergarten (5's) classes will attend music class and art class for 30 minutes each week, as well as a monthly preschool appropriate chapel service in the main sanctuary. The 2 year olds will participate in a music & motion class once per week for 30 minutes. The music and art teachers are a part of our WCP staff and plan activities to further develop a preschooler's blossoming creativity. Children are offered outdoor time on our playgrounds for 30 minutes each day, weather permitting. A fenced courtyard is also available for extra fresh air. On rainy days Helms Hall is filled with gross motor toys and provides lots of run around room. This is a large, bright, open room at the center of our facility which was used for many years as the Weddington Church Sanctuary.
