About the Program:
The mission of the Lake Travis United Methodist Church Preschool is to provide the children of our community with quality care in a Christian setting: to offer nurturing and encouragement; to guide them in learning about themselves, the world, and God’s love; to build self-esteem; and to see them, not as they are now, but as they are capable of becoming.
Our goal is to help children go to their first day of Kindergarten ready to learn. Academics are taught through the use of stories, songs, play, and hands-on experiences. Children use natural creativity and curiosity to develop intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually. We use the Wee-Learn curriculum that:
* celebrates each child’s unique qualities and instills multi-cultural appreciation,
* fosters individuality and creativity,
* emphasizes a love of books and reading, and
* teaches children to be respectful of nature and responsible in their use of the resources God provides.
Staff of LTUMC Preschool direct and teach using Christian tenets and values. The National Association for the Education of Young children cites one aspect of early-childhood programs as making the single greatest difference – the personal interaction between teacher and child. Through this relationship, children develop a sense of themselves as successful learners.
