OUR PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN
We are blessed to have an absolutely wonderful, colorful and child-friendly facility at New Life Assembly of God.  We use several classrooms as well as the great outdoor play space.

Opening area and puppet stage

  
 This is our main classroom and our day begins in this area.  Here we have our opening time, a story, prayer time, and finger plays.  The Muppet backdrop is replaced with an outdoor scene for our puppet introductions on Monday in the Getting Ready for Kindergarten class.  In the background of picture 1 is our puzzle area with a rainbow canopy for a cozy little nook.
 

Art and Snack Area
Each day children join in a group art project.  Many are open-ended and encourage exploration of various art media.  Others are geared to teach listening and follow simple directions in a group. At this time we are also helping children with the fine motor tasks of holding a pencil correctly, print names, and use scissors appropriately. This area also doubles as a great snack area with child-sized table.  It gives plenty of room for any group cooking projects.

Free Art Area
During their free play each day, children have the option to create at the free art area.  Paper, markers, crayons, scissors & a variety of other materials encourage experimentation for budding young artists

Housekeeping
 Our housekeeping area enables little mommies and daddies to interact with each other and their children.

    

Small manipulative
     Our small manipulative area contains many materials for children to develop eye hand coordination  skills.  There are many floor and board puzzles,  stringing beads, Duplos, attribute blocks, lacing cards, Lincoln log sets and other manipulative.  Our marble run has always been a favorite toy     

Library corner
Our library changes each month from our huge collection of books.  We also provide many books on tape for little friends to listen to.
  

2. THE TRAIN ROOM
This room has a huge train painted surrounding it on the walls.  Inside the adorable train are storybook characters like Curious George, Clifford, Grover and many others.  The play area in the train room contains a variety of Fisher Price playsets, including fire station, farmyard, parking garage, Sesame Street playhouse, and airport, as well as Lincoln Log and pony playsets.  This room is used for our Language time for the Socialization and Basic Skills class.  Our learning centers for each alphabet letter (Getting Ready for Kindergarten) are also set up in here each week.

3.THE VEGGIE TALE ROOM
The  Veggie Tale room is a colorful exciting room for indoor playtime.  Special fun includes playing in the  jungle gym.  This is also used for special activities during our center time for the Getting Ready for Kindergarten classes.
