Classes
Classes at Christ United Methodist Preschool are specialized to ensure
proper focus on the developmental needs of each age group.
Lollipops

Since this is often a child's first formal
experience away from mom and dad, the Lollipops class focuses heavily on

introduce basic preschool concepts such as colors, shapes, letters, and numbers
along with other skills.
Jelly Beans

A more formal instruction environment begins with
this age group, following Illinois learning standards. In the Jelly Beans

with learning how to follow instructions, stay on task, and work cooperatively
within a group.

In the Gummi Bears class, 3 and 4-year-olds continue to focus on self-help skills and independence with an emphasis on advancing their knowledge of letters, letter sounds, numbers, number concepts, developing conflict resolution, and increasing attention spans with a pre-kindergarten approach.
M&Ms
