"Teach children to view the world as a magical place, to see the ordinary as extraordinary, and you will empower them to discover awe and wonder in everything they do," unknown author. One of my greatest desires when I was teaching preschool and now as a homeschool mom is that as my children and I learn together our hearts will be full of more and more wonder. My hope is that in this learning playgroup children aren't even aware they are "learning" and are most aware of how much fun they are having. We will sing, dance, read stories, explore topics of their interest, play, play, and play. There will be a structure that consists of time spent at circle time, creation time, free play time, snack time, and story time. I will incorporate literacy, math, aspects of God's character and how He relates to them, social-emotional skills, and all while having fun and playing.

Albert Einstein said, "Play is the highest form of intelligence." More and more studies are showing the importance of play not just to support healthy social emotional skills but cognitive brain development and I would add a child's spiritual health as well. The wonder of God is so tangible to a child and my aim is to create a space that nurtures and supports a child's natural awe and curiosity. We will begin our class with a fun and engaging circle time that introduces a new social emotional skill we will be working on during our choice time. Children will then choose from various play stations prepared in the room for them to do what children naturally do best: imaginative & creative play. I utilize resources from Second Steps Early Learning Curriculum & the Zones of Regulation material that supports social emotional intelligence. Our class time is purposefully a little longer than most classes so that we can provide sufficient time for children to engage in play, create, build, work through social conflicts, and practice problem solving. My background is in early childhood education, I was a Head Start teacher, children's pastor, I am a mom of 3 beautiful children, and most importantly I'm passionate about following God's lead in supporting what He already is doing in the lives of His children. I'd love to connect with you and your family.
Requirements:
This class is for preschool age children between the ages of 3-5. Children must be 3 by the time of our first class.

This will be a fun, hand's-on class with lots of crafts, games, and experiments. Students will be presented with several different topics within the realm of "science" as they practice creative thinking and use the scientific method of making predictions. Each topic will be studied for 3-4 weeks. Topics will include habitats/ecosystems, outer space, earth science (rocks, trees, etc...), and even some basic chemistry and physics concepts.

Description:
A fun week of STEM related science experiments, games, etc... as we learn and practice PERSEVERANCE. Our Bible focus is Hebrews 12:1, which we will learn and practice each day in each activity. Each themed day will feature a different aspect of science (ie: rainbow day, building day, etc...) and will include one or two hands-on experiments, a related active game, a color or activity page, and a fun, theme-related snack.
Hola Amigos! Come and explore the Spanish language at a preschool level. We will use the Abeka Spanish K5 program as a basis for class but I'll be adding in songs, read aloud and regular spoken Spanish into the classroom so your little can have an immersive experience. Our class will include: a Spanish based circle time, a craft/worksheet time, Spanish games and free play using our Spanish vocabulary. My goal is that your student leaves this class with some basic Spanish vocabulary and a deeper love of Jesus through the learning of a foreign language.
Requirements:
Students must be able to sit through a 10-15 minute circle time, cut and paste with scissors and glue, follow directions and be willing to learn!
Greetings! My name is Summer St. John, I’m nineteen years old and have been learning ASL for five years. I began studying Sign Language after watching a video of a deaf teacher beautifully signing a story on being seen as a deaf person. After that, God gave me a passion to study the language on my own. At fourteen, I took a semester of ASL from a deaf person and fell more in love with the language. I have taught five ASL classes since then, and am currently assistant teaching with my deaf friend Jennifer. I plan to pursue deaf ministry, and look forward to sharing my passion with others through private ASL lessons.
I encourage parents to learn and teach their kids,
