“Play is the highest form of research.”—Albert Einstein

March is a full and exciting month for us. Dr. Suess’s birthday is the perfect chance to be silly while reading some amazing books by this beloved author. We will host our annual trike-a-thon to raise funds for St. Jude’s and cancer research while learning about bicycle safety in a fun way. St. Patrick’s Day is a time to talk about sharing Jesus’s message of love and enjoying the silliness and mischief of Leprechauns

The children will learn about different modes of transportation as well as outer space this month which gives us the perfect opportunity to talk about Creation. We will discuss how things were made and look for signs of spring in the weather, plants and animals. The children will spend more time outside exploring our changing environment. Each week the kids will explore these themes during the resource classes: Jump and Learn, Cooking, Art Appreciation, Bible, Library, Science and Music.

Planting and growing are huge part of curriculum for the next couple of months. Donations(or loaned items) of soil, seeds, gardening equipment or anything else that will help us explore how things grow would be appreciated. We have 40 little learners eager to get their hands dirty!

We will be closed for spring break March 25-29. The Preschool is now enrolling for the 2019-2020 school year. We have classes for children 15 months through age 5. If you are interested or know of someone who might enjoy our program, please contact Kristina Ranieri at 272-6370 or email at adventpreschool@bellsouth.net. Feel free to stop by and check us out or look us up on Facebook and Instagram to see some of the exciting activities that take place here.

Thanks the generosity of some amazing people, our Preschool Scholarship Fund has enough money to allow 2 students to attend classes here who would otherwise not be able to come. Your kindness is truly overwhelming.

Have a blessed month!

Philosophy of Advent Lutheran Preschool

It is the philosophy of Advent Lutheran Preschool that early childhood should be a time of exploring and discovery in a fun and safe environment. Preschool children are curious and eager to learn. The staff strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in all who attend.

The purpose of our preschool is to provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth which leads to the development of the child as a whole.

Planned within the framework of philosophy and purpose, Advent Lutheran Preschool’s curriculum includes early literacy, beginning math, sharing and conversation, stories, songs and movement to music, creative art activities, physical education, cooking, science, social studies, computers and bible story time.

The environment will allow hands on learning by loving teachers and will feature a low teacher-student ratio. Our learning environment is based on Christian principles and Advent Lutheran Church sponsors the preschool as a mission to its community.

Preschool Standards

Advent Lutheran Preschool is licensed by Florida’s Department of Children and Families. We comply with all standards set forth by the State of Florida. We are inspected annually by the Department of Children and Families, Episcopal Children’s Services and the Clay County Fire Department.
