The Lions and Tigers Class

Our Tigers Class is designed for potty-trained children around ages 3–4 who are ready to take the next step toward a more structured preschool experience. Building on the skills developed in the Bears Class, Tigers are encouraged to become more independent, confident, and engaged learners.

Through The Creative Curriculum, children learn through hands-on experiences, purposeful play, stories, music, art, sensory activities, and exploration. Weekly and monthly themes provide opportunities to explore meaningful topics while developing early skills in language and literacy, math, science, social-emotional development, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving, and communication.

Our teachers intentionally create opportunities for children to practice independence, cooperation, following directions, making choices, and expressing their thoughts and feelings. Most importantly, our Tigers learn in a loving, Christ-centered environment where they are encouraged to show kindness, care for others, and learn about God's love through Bible stories, songs, prayer, and everyday experiences.

Our Lions Class is our oldest preschool group, preparing children for the exciting transition to Pre-K and kindergarten. This classroom provides a nurturing, engaging environment where children are encouraged to become confident, independent learners while continuing to grow socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually.

Using The Creative Curriculum, teachers provide intentional, hands-on learning experiences through weekly and monthly themes, classroom routines, small-group activities, stories, music, art, science, math, literacy, and purposeful play. Children are given opportunities to explore their interests, ask questions, solve problems, communicate their ideas, and develop a love of learning.

Our focus includes building strong foundations in early literacy, phonological awareness, writing, numbers and counting, shapes, patterns, science, critical thinking, self-regulation, social skills, and independence. Children are supported as individuals, with activities and expectations adapted to their developmental needs and readiness.

Above all, the Lions Class is a safe, loving, Christ-centered environment where children are encouraged to grow in confidence, kindness, responsibility, and faith. Through Bible stories, songs, prayer, and everyday examples of God's love, we help prepare our Lions not only for kindergarten, but for a lifetime of learning and growing.
