Whole child approach to education

The overall goal of Kids Alive is to help your child’s first ‘school’ experience be filled with fun, song, dance, movement, discovery, and wonder surrounded by the comfort that they are loved. The teachers at Kids Alive believe in and use a whole-child approach to education which emphasizes physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual developmental stages.  All stages are considered equally important.  We believe it is important to help the children learn new things by allowing them to actively participate in a variety of activities.
 
All children require love, acceptance, guidance, faith, protection, security, and independence. We want to meet the needs of each child in a loving, sharing atmosphere.  Classes will be taught with a Christian perspective. We want your child to grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, and to learn skills to prepare them for kindergarten. 
 
Our daily schedule is flexible, but includes the following:
Activity Centers, Art Projects, Circle Time (Pledge of Allegiance, Helper of the Day, Calendar, Weather), Story Time, Music, Snack, Playground, and Program.
 
We will learn as we play... to get along, to work together, to work independently
to share, to count, to explore, to recognize likenesses and differences, to express ourselves, to use new words, to learn about our world God created, to play and listen, to know God loves us!

Preschool

Our 3-year-old Preschool primarily focuses on social interaction with a large amount of fun, movement, and play.  Our goal is that your child will recognize his or her printed first name, know the months of the year and days of the week, be able to recognize and identify shapes, colors, and some letters.  In addition, we will be introducing writing, cutting, and other reading readiness skills. 
 
Tuesday and Thursday: 9am - 11:30am or Wednesday and Friday: 9am-11:30am
Tuition is $75.00 per month.

Pre-Kindergarten (3 day)

Our 4-year-old Pre-Kindergarten class is still a social preschool with a shift toward academics.  The skills needed to thrive in kindergarten are artfully woven into your child’s day through hands-on activities, song, and play.  Our goal for these students is that they will be able to write their own name, identify the letters of the alphabet (upper and lower case), cut with scissors, count to a hundred, as well as progress with their large and small motor skills.
 
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 9am-11:30am or
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 12:30-3:00pm
Tuition is $100.00 per month.

Pre-Kindergarten (4 day)

Our four-day Pre-Kindergarten class is  geared for older 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds. This class has the same expectations as our 4-year-old Pre-Kindergarten class, with some variations to keep the class fresh and challenging, as well as age appropriate for these older students. It will offer some additional opportunities to explore through cooking, science experiments, library check-out, and music. We ask that these children be 5 by December 1st or be prescreened by the director.
