The purpose of Calvary Baptist Academy's Preschool is to provide a safe, fun, and loving learning environment where children can gain independence, engage in interactive play, and form new friendships with other children as well as with their teachers. Your children will learn and grow during their time here as we use the highly recommended Abeka preschool curriculum. They will learn to enjoy learning while interacting with the creative themes implemented in our daily activities. CBA's Preschool is not only a huge benefit to the child, but it also allows mom a chance to do the things she needs to get done as well as gives her a much needed break every once in a while.

At CBA, we have chosen to use the highly acclaimed Abeka Preschool curriculum which effectively couples fun with learning while at the same time emphasizing strong Christian values and development of character. Abeka is a trusted curriculum that has been around for over 40 years, is used by approximately 10,000 Christian schools across America and around the world, and is used by over 1 million children worldwide. 

Through the use of the Abeka curriculum as well as many other supplemental tools, our teachers strive to harness the enthusiasm of these young children and direct it in a way so that meaningful learning happens. In this way, the teachers are laying the groundwork for the children to excel at their current age, for the rest of their formal education, and really throughout their lives.

Character training is one of the ultimate goals of Christian education. With Abeka, every subject area, every teaching method, every attitude, every action of the student or teacher is a means to develop character—through traditional teaching methods, Bible teaching, and the formation of good habits.

Some of the specifics that will be taught:

· Introduction of key Bible characters and events in both the Old and New Testament through daily Bible time--they will not only learn lessons from these stories but also develop character.

· Phonics Skills Development--they will learn letter recognition and sounds.

· Language development and listening skills--they will learn such things as color words, shapes, animals, transportation, countries, community helpers, health, safety, manners, science.

· Number Skills Development--they will learn counting, number recognition, proper sequence, and number concepts from 1-20.

· Motor Skills Development through Art and Craft time--they learn recognition of colors and shapes, learn how to follow directions, work on improving their eye-hand coordination, and learn to use many other motor skills to complete art projects.
