Preschool Curriculum
The goal of the All Saints Academy Preschool program is to provide a secure and nurturing environment, where the children can grow and develop at their own rate. We provide positive reinforcement, and encourage the children to try new things and explore concepts using their prior knowledge. Helping them discover the sense of wonder and the appreciation for God’s creations is also our goal. At ASA, we encourage social development with peers, and teach the etiquette of a school setting. Finally, we will gradually help children develop the readiness skills needed for entrance into Kindergarten. All of these goals will be explored using a variety of learning tools and activities. All Saints Academy Preschool will use the curriculum provided by the Diocese of Grand Rapids as a guideline for instructional assistance.
