Top Benefits of Bethel Lutheran School Kindergarten Every Parent Needs to Know

Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten plays a significant role in the development of young children.  Our programs are designed to prepare kids for future learning. It is also at this age that children learn various cognitive, emotional and social skills that set them up for future academic success.
During this stage, they get to discover and understand the world better. They are given plenty of fun and educational activities that enrich their learning experience. By sending your little one to Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten, they get to enjoy a wonderful stage of learning and a lot of positive nurturing experiences.

  • Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten promotes language and cognitive skills
In our high-quality kindergarten setting, young kids are exposed to a language-rich environment. This is where their vocabulary grows and conversation skills improve. Our teachers help foster their language skills further by asking thought provoking questions. Children are also given activities to help move their language skills forward. One example is talking about a certain topic like their favorite pet or favorite hobby.
Besides language skills, a child’s cognitive skills are also developed in kindergarten. Children in our kindergarten classes are given hands-on activities that stimulate their minds. Because a child’s brain is like a sponge during this stage, it is highly recommended that parents take advantage of this learning ability.

  • Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten promotes social and emotional development
A child’s social and emotional growth is just as important as their cognitive development. That is why our teachers focus on these things, too. Throughout the year, our teachers do more than just watching over children and teach them the fundamentals of ABCs and 123s.
All of our Bethel Lutheran School teachers are trained to help young kids develop social and emotional skills. They provide children with opportunities to build friendships and have healthy interactions with others. Not only that, but they also use “teachable moments” so children can learn to manage their emotions and resolve conflicts on their own.

  • Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten promotes Christian values and teaches morals and ethics.
Bethel Lutheran School's faith-based learning can help students develop a strong moral compass and a sense of purpose in the world. As our alumni can attest to our faith-based learning can provide students with a strong sense of community and belonging. Our teachers provide experiences both in and out of the classroom to help children better understand how to be  disciple of Jesus Christ.

  • Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten provides children with opportunities to learn independence
Bethel Lutheran School is an excellent venue for kids to learn how to take care of themselves and be independent. In kindergarten, children do not have their parents to do certain things for them. From unpacking their lunch box to organizing their personal stuff, they have themselves to rely on. This is where they learn real skills that they need as they grow up. And it isn’t just themselves that they learn to take care of.
Our program provides opportunities for children to learn how to help and care for others. They learn the behaviors that help them form healthy relationships with others as they grow.

  • Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten promotes reading and math skills
Learning the fundamentals of math and reading is crucial in a child’s early development. This is why these things are also given emphasis in our kindergarten classes. To prepare children for their future academic endeavors, they are given activities that promote skills in math and reading. For learning mathematics, kids are given sorting games, matching activities, counting games and other tasks that help increase their understanding of numbers.
As for developing their reading skills, children are taught how to recognize letters in both uppercase and lowercase. They learn how sounds correspond to each letter and eventually read a couple of high frequency words.

  • Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten encourages a child’s curiosity
While Bethel Lutheran School kindergarten has a more structured setting than home or daycare centers, we still ensure that it fosters a child’s curiosity. Our teachers and programs encourage kids to explore their surroundings and be curious, while offering opportunities for children to channel their creativity and imagination. Our teachers use creative play as a means to teach lessons instead of a sit-down lecture. There are also child-friendly toys used to make the learning experience more interesting for children.

Your child deserves the best quality early childhood education! Contact us to schedule a tour or learn more by emailing us HERE.
