The staff at Cathedral of Faith Christian School aims to provide an education that is designed to meet individual needs and insure a degree of success. This includes helping children…….
Needs for Success
1. An independent walk with Christ in a way that inspires them to govern their behavior without external control.
To stress positive behavior as exemplified by Christ as a means of helping children to apply biblical principles to everyday life.
2. Social interaction skills and respect for the rights of others.
A child learns to give and share, as well as receive affection. He learns about working in groups, what taking turns means, and what thinking about others means. We want each child to also develop concepts identifying adult-child and role play.
3. Small and large motor skills.
To discover, explore, experiment, and play with a variety of materials, objects, and tools to develop eye-hand coordination.
4. Visual and listening skills.
Seeing and hearing words, phrases, and stories. Develop the ability to create, re-tell, and dramatize. To interpret signs, symbols, and pictures, to become familiar with letterforms.
5. Begin to understand the physical body
We want to produce children who understand the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit and will care for it through good hygiene, health practices and nutrition.
6. Foster the development of language and communication skills
The early childhood years are the time to develop vocabulary, an appreciation for books, and comprehensive skills. We also want to stimulate creativity and imagination.
7. Begin to understand and control the physical world
To be responsive to the world around them, to have an understanding of cause and effect, to be able to find and use information.
8. Develop music appreciation and auditory discrimination
To encourage expression through music by singing, composing, dancing, playing, humming, clapping, and using a variety of musical instruments. To recognize and compare environmental sounds of animals, motors, musical instruments, and nature.
