PALS Promise
We will love your babies like our own. We will teach your children about Jesus and his GREAT LOVE. We will make learning FUN. We will help prepare your children for Kindergarten and beyond. We will remember that every child learns differently and has his or her own talents. We will partner and engage with you, as parents, as you will always be the primary teacher of your children. We will do our best to teach by example and to always display the fruits of the Spirit to students by practicing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. -Galatians 5:22-23.
PALS Philospophy
PALS Preschool at Crowley’s Ridge Academy is based on the developmental philosophy of preschool education. We use purposeful play to aid in each child’s unique intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. We are provided a unique opportunity to lay a strong educational foundation and inspire a love of learning from an early age.
Of courses, we encourage a love of Jesus and include the Bible into our curriculum as well!
PALS Activities
PALS includes opportunities for activities such as blocks, art, books, puzzles and dramatic play. Our class activities include Bible, Math, Language Arts, Art, Science and Music. Our Pre-Kindergarten Classes use Appleseeds from Connections to introduce the alphabet and phonics. (Connections is the same reading curriculum used by CRA in K-6th grades.)
PALS Field Trips
We love local field trips. However, we frequently have visitors who “bring the field trip to us!” We invite Community Helpers to come talk to us about helpful topics.
Parents are a vital part of the PALS program. We appreciate our PALS parents and we strive to include them in all aspects of their child’s preschool experience.
