A purposeful morning

Three hours. A lot of growing.

A Preschool morning at LICSM balances academic learning with hands-on activities, physical movement, guided interaction, music, and play. Children experience different ways of learning rather than spending the morning only at a desk.

Learning and doing

Hands-on activities and play help reinforce learning concepts in concrete, age-appropriate ways.

Movement and music

Gross-motor movement, music, and movement give children active ways to participate.

Together and independently

Guided interaction, free play, individual work, and partner work help children experience different ways of learning.

Learning through doing

Young children learn in more than one way.

Preschool learning may include play, movement, hands-on work, individual activities, working with a partner, guided interaction, and appropriate outdoor activity. Each offers another way for children to participate, practise, and make sense of what they are learning.

Christian foundation

Faith from the beginning.

LICSM Preschool is grounded in Christian values reflected in routines, lessons, activities, and the way children are guided each day. With BJU Press as the curricular foundation, the goal is not only readiness for Grade School, but also the beginning of Christ-like character.

Confidence and independence

Children are given room to grow.

Starting school can feel different for every child. Teachers do not force children to interact before they are ready. They create meaningful opportunities to participate, model positive social interaction, gently encourage involvement, and allow confidence and independence to develop over time.

Life skills

Growing practical capability in everyday school routines.

Independence

Learning to participate, make choices, and do more with confidence.

Grade School readiness

Building foundations for the academic and social rhythms ahead.

Christ-like character

Beginning to practise kindness, responsibility, respect, and faith.

Parent involvement

Families become part of the learning.

During Academic Week, Preschool parents may take part in classroom learning by leading a lesson. Children enjoy seeing their parent become their teacher for a day, while families gain another way to connect with their child’s school experience.

Fun Friday
Fun Friday gives children another regular opportunity to experience school beyond the usual academic routine.

Preparing for what comes next

Ready for Grade School—and more independent along the way.

LICSM Preschool aims to help children develop independence, practical life skills, confidence, readiness for Grade School, positive interactions with others, and Christ-like character.

Preschool admissions

A clear and thoughtful beginning.

Preschool applicants complete the required admissions documents and participate in a readiness assessment and parent conversation as part of the admissions process. The assessment helps LICSM understand the child’s readiness and needs; it is not simply a pass-or-fail examination. Admission remains subject to the school’s admissions review.
