Our Preschool and Kindergarten programs allow each child to develop socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. We offer opportunities daily for children ages 12 months through Kindergarten to explore their abilities, express ideas and play with friends.

Enrichment programs broaden the children’s exposure to the greater world around them and enhance classroom experiences. Seasonal performances and special events help expand learning outside the classroom and build confidence in our children. Our curriculum, staff, and classroom environment inspire children to become life-long learners. For more information about our enrichment programs, visit www.christchurchcharlotte.org/cck-enrichment.

TODDLER PROGRAM | Teacher/Student Ratio: 2:8

Our Toddler curriculum is developed around the natural curiosity of toddlers to explore and learn. The Toddler classrooms strive to provide a safe, happy and loving environment anchored in traditional Christian values. Toddler teachers guide children in learning to separate from parents and interact with others. Children are introduced to colors, counting and shapes through seasonal experiences and classroom interactions. Toddlers learn new vocabulary and communication skills as they interact with teachers and peers daily. Music and My Gym enhance our Toddler program through gross motor movement and singing. In January, Toddlers are introduced to the Learning Center for story time.

TWO-YEAR-OLD PROGRAM | Teacher/Student Ratio: 2:8-10Our Twos classes focus on peer interaction and social development. Our teachers guide students in learning about the world around them through stories, songs and play. Colors, numbers and shapes are incorporated into the curriculum through classroom activities and seasonal thematic units. The Twos enjoy trips to the Learning Center, Science Lab, and My Gym classes each month and love singing with our music teacher during weekly classroom visits.

THREE-YEAR-OLD PROGRAM | Teacher/Student Ratio: 2:14Our Threes continue to develop a love of learning through discovery and exploration. Daily activities and new concepts are introduced during circle time and explored through artwork, stories and center time. Threes are introduced to a Letter of the Week and enjoy learning through play and small group instruction. Teachers strive to strengthen independence, develop self-help skills, and increase self-confidence through daily activities. Music, Christian Education, Learning Center, Science, My Gym, and Creative Movement classes enrich the school day for our Threes.

FOUR-YEAR-OLD PROGRAM | Teacher/Student Ratio: 2:14Four-year-olds continue exploring the world around them through free play, artwork, storytime, centers and enrichment opportunities. Fours take a more in-depth look at the alphabet by investigating each letter, its unique sound(s), and letter formation. Children are also introduced to fine motor skills and games that are basic building blocks for handwriting. The classes explore math skills through calendar time, counting and hands-on learning activities. In addition to Music, Christian Education, Learning Center, Science, My Gym, and Creative Movement classes, our Fours attend on-campus enrichment programs that enhance classroom learning.

KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM | Teacher/Student Ratio: 2:12-14Our Kindergarten Program uses the Lippincott curriculum to create phonological awareness, support phonics instruction, teach handwriting skills and develop pre-reading and reading skills. The Kindergarten math curriculum uses Envision Math, as well as many hands-on activities, to develop number concepts and early math skills. Our Kindergarten program is enriched by a variety of extracurricular opportunities that enhance classroom learning. Music, Christian Education, Learning Center, Science, My Gym, Creative Movement, and Chapel classes are an integral part of our Kindergarten curriculum.

ALL SCHOOL CHAPEL | All ClassesOnce a month, all CCK children gather together in All Saints’ Hall for All School Chapel. Toddlers through Kindergartners are led by the Christ Church clergy and our music teacher in singing songs and learning more about God’s love for us.

BI-WEEKLY CHAPEL | Fours & KindergartenChapel is a time for children to worship through song and stories with the Christ Church clergy and our music teacher. Students in Fours and Kindergarten classes have the opportunity to participate in the bi-weekly service by helping light candles, carrying the cross, singing together, and hearing a Bible story.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION | Threes, Fours & KindergartenDuring weekly visits, our Christian Education teacher uses the Godly Play curriculum to teach Bible stories. The stories use manipulatives and props to help bring Bible stories to life for the children.

CREATIVE MOVEMENT | Threes, Fours & KindergartenChildren learn through the art of dance during Creative Movement. This literacy-based gross motor program helps children develop gross motor skills, listening skills, gentle hands, imagination, and a warm heart, through creative play and exercise.

MY GYM | All ClassesThe My Gym staff provides gross motor programming for all classes once a month. Children learn to balance, take turns, move and play through games, obstacle courses, and individual practice skills.

LEARNING CENTER | All ClassesThrees, Fours and Kindergartners visit the Learning Center (our library) twice monthly. Twos and Toddlers visit the Learning Center once per month. Learning Center teachers read a fictional story, discuss a subject covered in the story, and lead the class in a related activity. Children learn literary terms such as author, illustrator, fiction, and non-fiction. Threes, Fours and Kindergarten classes choose their own books to check out and keep in their classrooms until their next visit.

MUSIC | All ClassesOur music teacher strives to make music fun for all ages with silly songs and lots of movement during weekly classroom visits. Classes sing a combination of seasonal, secular, and chapel songs. Fours and Kindergartners perform a special Thanksgiving musical each Fall and Threes perform a Songfest each Spring.

SCIENCE LAB | Twos, Threes, Fours & KindergartenChildren enjoy visiting the Science Lab twice monthly (once for Twos) to learn about the wonderful world of science through demonstrations, stories and hands-on activities. Students use scientific process skills such as observation, classification, questioning, predicting, experimenting and communication as they explore the Science Lab.
