"We
were attracted to the Sonshine Tree Preschool’s vision of a caring
and
nurturing environment which promotes academic and social
readiness through Christian instruction. My husband and I are so pleased
with the progress our boys have made this year, and would recommend
Sonshine Tree to anyone who is considering a preschool for their
child."
Michele Wagner with sons Michael and Matthew
According
to the U.S. Department of Education, preschool
plays a large role in
later academic success.
"Children in high
quality preschools
display better language, cognitive,
and social skills than children who attended low quality programs."
They have longer attention spans, stronger social abilities, and
better language and math skills well into their elementary school
careers. In fact, 20 or 30 years later, they're more
likely to graduate from high school, more likely to hold high paying
jobs, even more likely to own their own house.
So how do you find a "high quality preschool?" Professionals
advise to observe
the actual classes in action. This is exactly what Sonshine Tree
Preschool is planning for their Open House to be held Thursday, March
12, 2009 from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. Sonshine Tree Preschool and
Learning Center is now enrolling for the 2009-2010 school year and
invite you to come see with your own eyes how we can give your child the
loving head start they need in school.
Classes
are for 3, 4, and 5 year olds and provides Christian instruction in a
fun, loving and caring environment. The focus is on Kindergarten
readiness through hands-on, interactive learning. Students work
with dedicated teachers in small class sizes to develop these skills:
practical, listening, fine motor, speaking, gross motor, computer,
social and emotional. Curriculum includes development of reading
readiness, creative and musical arts, work habits, math readiness and
physical health. Classes also enjoy educational
field trips.
Sonshine
Tree Preschool is located at Crossroads Ministries located on Route 88,
Finleyville, which is mile south of Trax Farm overlooking Mineral Beach.
