ZION LUTHERAN PRE-SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

Zion's education philosophy focuses on the child rather than the teacher. We believe that children learn best through their own discoveries, active cooperative learning, experiments, questioning, sharing, speaking and listening. This can be accomplished through hands on activities and the use of many different manipulatives and resources. We also believe in the whole-language approach and surrounding the children in a print rich environment even before they can read.

As teachers our role is to make the children's activities as fun and interesting as possible, and then guide the children through these activities - not dictate them. Also, through our everyday actions we will be serving as a constant Christian role model to the children.
