preschool curriculum

Rehoboth Learning Center provides a preschool learning environment as a service to the community as a mission of Rehoboth United Methodist Church.  The mission of our program is to lovingly teach, build character, and promote health of children through God’s Word in Jesus Christ.  We are committed to providing a loving, positive atmosphere for children to learn and play within a Christian environment.  Activities are planned according to weekly themes that are enjoyable for the children.  The children are taught the various themes through reading, writing, singing, math, science, social studies, art, physical development activities, health and Christian Education. Our curriculum encourages children to explore their interests and allows them to progress at their own developmental pace.

Social interaction is also a large part of the curriculum at Rehoboth.  The children learn the importance of getting along with others, cooperation, helping, sharing, and the valuable role each individual plays in the group.  At Rehoboth, we promote the growth of the whole child.
