One’s Class

Our one-year-old classes meet on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Each class consists of five children with one teacher and a part-time aide. To enroll, children must be at least 12 months old by September 1st of the year they enter Covenant UMC Preschool.

We are committed to supporting the development of the whole child. Skills developed in our one-year-old classes include, but are not limited to:

Physical Development (Gross Motor Skills): Enhancing movement through music, games, and outdoor play.
Physical Development (Fine Motor Skills): Strengthening fine motor abilities through art activities using a variety of materials, and sensory play with items like play-dough and shaving cream.
Pre-Reading: Expanding vocabulary through teacher modeling, music, and literature.
Math: Introducing foundational concepts such as numbers, colors, and shapes.
Social/Emotional: Teaching the concepts of sharing, helping, taking turns, friendship, and recognizing feelings.
Spiritual: Fostering an understanding of God through prayer, Bible stories, and music.

We focus on providing a nurturing environment where children can grow and develop in all these areas.
