Pre-kindergarten

Pre-K at Maranatha is a place where students learn through play as they form connections with their classmates and are encouraged by their teachers in both their academics and in their learning about Jesus. All Pre-K classrooms are led by a dedicated teacher and full-time classroom assistant. 

Academic and Kindergarten Readiness

For our Pre-K students, learning is an adventure, and that adventure runs through our math, pre-reading, coding, STEM, art, music, and PE classes. No one is too young to learn!

In fact, our Pre-K students have a great head start for Kindergarten, outperforming incoming kindergarteners by 10 points on MAP testing. 

Core Subjects include:

• Math concepts
• Reading readiness, phonics awareness, and language arts/handwriting 
• Science using project-based learning
• Social studies
• Bible

Specialist Classes include:

• Physical Education
• Art
• Music
• Play-based centers in the Pre-K center room
• STEM

Play-based Learning

We believe that learning should be fun, and what better way to learn than by playing! Our Pre-K Center Room is the one-stop shop for everything our Pre-Kers are looking for to expand their creativity through our climbing wall, reading tree, and more. On top of that, time in the gym and outside on the new playground and Inspire Field gives students a chance to get the wiggles out. 

Spiritual Growth

Pre-K students attend weekly chapels and have dedicated Bible learning time in class. Our teachers also make sure everything taught is from a Biblical worldview. 

Service

Our little-ones are excited about the world around them, and we want to teach them to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Through service projects such as our cereal box drive that culminates in a Domino Run, to raising money to buy goats for communities abroad, our Pre-Kers get hands-on learning with helping others. Students are also given various in-class roles such as line-leader, weather helper, and prayer leader. 

The Heart

We love our Pre-Kers - they have a love for life, a joy for learning, and a pure care for those around them. We’ve built a Pre-K program that puts your child first and foremost in a learning environment where they are free to be themselves, learn about Jesus, and have fun.
