Preschool at ROBS is a joyful step in every child’s educational journey. Children are learning to observe, explore, and be awed by God’s creation around them. They are also making intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connections, one glorious discovery at a time. Our master teachers capture the wonder with which Preschool-aged children see the world. They help our students build on their discoveries so that children begin to construct a framework of understanding they will use throughout their lives.

CURRICULUM FEATURES EARLY LITERACY Preschool students develop foundational reading and writing skills through daily word play, dramatization, literacy centers, story dictation, drawing, bookmaking, and interactive read-alouds. Weekly visits to the library also foster an early love of reading. Phonemic awareness and phonics skills emerge through thoughtfully designed literacy activities throughout the child’s school day. NUMERICAL FLUENCY Our preschoolers are eager to build, sort, count, and measure in our hands-on, playful mathematics program. Children develop deep number sense through singing counting songs, measuring block creations, sorting, classifying, and charting class data on important subjects like favorite ice cream flavors. MUSIC & MOTOR Readiness students explore rhythm and musicality in concert with gross motor skill development, body awareness, and sportsmanship in their daily Music & Motor class. Prekindergarten students attend Motor class daily and an additional music class three days per week. SPANISH PreK students attend a weekly Spanish class that introduces simple words and phrases through songs, movement, and interactive activities. Early exposure to a foreign language supports confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation for future language learning.

ART The Preschool art curriculum emphasizes the artistic process rather than a perfect product through lessons that cultivate joy, creativity, and yes, learning! Age-appropriate art history lessons integrate music appreciation as students listen to period pieces while they create. MULTISENSORY EXPLORATION Play-based, multisensory experiences aren’t just more fun; they’re crucial to brain development. Playing with slime, digging for spaghetti worms, and finger painting support cognitive growth, language development, fine motor skills, social interaction, and problem-solving skills. WEEKLY CHAPEL & BIBLE CLASS Messages of God’s enduring love surround children through frequent prayer, daily Bible stories, and weekly Bible lessons. All Preschool students experience the fellowship of worship in joyful and reverent weekly Chapel services. Onstage musicals telling cherished Bible stories are a highlight of the Prekindergarten year. CHARACTER EDUCATION Jesus’ teachings form the basis for character education in the earliest years. The school day overflows with opportunities – both structured and unstructured – to learn to communicate, compromise, and collaborate with classmates. Stories, music, and activities in the classroom help children learn to understand and manage their feelings. Preschoolers also attend Sprouts, a special weekly class, where they practice kind actions like active listening, positive selftalk, empathy, and problem-solving. These skills are rooted in our core values, which are drawn from the biblical “fruit of the Spirit.”
