Activities that provide for progress in each of these developmental areas are the most important aspects of our learning programs. Abiding Savior Preschool's philosophy is predicated on the theory that learning is accomplished through interesting motivational activities and well-rounded programs. These programs help children to discover the joys of growing and becoming the best he or she can be, in a Christian environment. Activities that are planned encourage creativity and self-expression through language, art, music, movement experiences, dramatic play, large and small muscle activities, block building, woodworking, science and sensory play. These activities give the children opportunities to choose and make decisions and to pursue their interests and ideas. The program allows the children time to research as they explore, investigate and experiment to enable them to discover and interpret facts about "things". The program is designed to provide an environment in which children may interact easily with others in order to develop friendships and positive social skills. There are times and properties for dramatic play, giving the children opportunities to act out what is important to them by means of housekeeping, care giving, dressing-up, playing store, playing post office, etc. There are also a variety of books, records, filmstrips, finger plays, pictures and other media to add interest to the program. Resource people and field trips also add a wonderful dimension to the child care program.
