Why OCS?


  • We lead the children through a God- Based program.   Where prayer and God’s word is part of everything we do!
  • We offer smaller class sizes, which allows us to have more one-on-one with the students and ensure their individual needs are met.
  • There is a warm, welcoming, family feeling at OCS.  You know who your child’s friends and their families are.
  • We have pulled from some of the best curricula available today to make up our excellent academic program to ensure your child is getting the best education possible.
  • We also have highly motivated teachers, all with a God-given desire to teach children and watch them grow in wisdom, knowledge and God’s word.

3 year old preschool


​My class provides a nurturing, loving, and supportive atmosphere that helps develop a love of learning. This allows each student to experience God’s love through academic, emotional, and spiritual expression.

As the K3 Pre-School Teacher, my goals for the students are the following:

Spiritual Growth, Academic Progress and Character Growth ( Social Skills). These goals will be accomplished as described in the next few columns.

Academics


  • Activities that strengthen small motor skill for writing; using writing and cutting tools
  • Developing early math skills: Opportunities to sort by shape, size , same/different; ,measure with unconventional measuring tools (blocks, hands, paperclips, etc.): recognizing numbers 1- 10 and counting 1- 10:Understanding adding to and taking away
  • Introducing all 26 letters and their sounds through use of Zoo Phonics
  • Book Awareness through hearing/ reading stories and active participation during Story time

​



Spiritual:
  • First and foremost, is to support and strengthen their Spiritual foundation. This will be done through age appropriate activities to provide the children with the best possible opportunities for retention of daily lessons. Model to the children how praying is talking with their Heavenly Father, give them practice (snack, etc.…)
  • Read weekly Bible stories, broken down into daily increments
  • We will memorize Bible verses, using sign language, acting out and using songs that put Scripture to music 

​Social/Character Growth:
  • Identify their gender; age; first and last name
  • Interact cooperatively and taking turns with other children, using staff modeling, lessons from Bible stories, Scripture along with daily experiences during play
  • Learning to follow class rules, using support and accountability
  • Hold attention span through gradual increase in group activities (Carpet time/Table work activities)
