At IHH, teachers provide a flexible environment for students to learn at their own pace in preparation for kindergarten.
Teachers of our Preschool Program hold a Texas teacher certification with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. Teachers provide a flexible environment for students to learn at their own pace in preparation for kindergarten. The curriculum focuses on individual needs within the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) and guidelines set by the State for pre-K children. We seek to provide a friendly, Christian environment in which young children can grow physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually. IHH provides opportunities for children to work and play with peers and caring adults, and to develop relationships with others. The balanced program of guided activities is designed to stimulate initiative and creativity to further a sense of self-worth and to build readiness for public school kindergarten. Weekly Bible verses, Bible stories, songs, and field trips are integrated into the curriculum.
Special instruction for music and technology is included in the lesson plans each week for no additional fee. Instruction for Teams of Tomorrow (TOT) basketball, hand-eye coordination, and Tiny Toes Ballet are offered weekly for an additional fee.
Specialized Instruction
There may be an opportunity for your child to participate in a special class led by a musician, Spanish teacher, or attend a computer technology class at no extra cost. For an additional charge, your child can participate in Teams of Tomorrow (TOT) basketball and Tiny Toes Ballet. Registration forms for these activities are in the In His Hands office.
Curriculum
During the year, the children will be exposed to colors, shapes, and appropriate number concepts. Your child will learn to recognize his or her own name. To enhance the program, we use other ideas, crafts, cooking, nursery rhymes, and field trips. We do activities in the areas of language development, fine and large motor development, and social development. We also include activities in the areas of social, mental, physical, and spiritual development. Weekly Bible stories and Scripture will also be a part of the curriculum. Holiday activities will be supplemented for appropriate times of the year.
