Preschool and PreK
This age group starts at 3 years old and prepares the students for kindergarten.
Here in this age group, we believe that every child is a unique and beautiful individual. We focus on exploring who we are and how to work together to conquer objectives by ourselves. Writing our names, learning to read, and exploring phonics are just some of the wonderful things we enjoy in our daily classes. But that's not all. We love to dive into extreme science projects that make us say “WOW!” and our sensory bin helps enhance the learning theme we are studying that week. Getting outside to move our bodies and strengthen our fine and gross motor muscles is also a top priority for us. This age group is the perfect preparation for the next grade, which is Kindergarten! Rest assured that your little ones are well on their way to a successful journey into the older ages.

Our Curriculum
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
At True Freedom Ministries Daycare Learning Center (TFMDLC) we provide our students with a developmentally appropriate curriculum that is based on the state of GEORGIA standards. NAEYC, which is the National Association for the Education of Young Children, defines developmentally appropriate curriculum as methods that promote each child's optimal development and learning through a strengths-based, play-based approach to joyful, engaged learning. We believe this to be the heart of our curriculum. Our weekly lesson plans are developed through our student’s interests and what grabs their attention. We do our best to meet every child’s individual cognitive and development level and encourage and inspire them to progress.
Language Development
Language development skills are developed through exposure to letter-sound connections, combining those sounds into meaningful words, and putting words together into sentences to communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
Social Emotional
Children are learning to talk about their feelings and the feelings of others. Social-emotional development involves more than just expressing emotions. It involves taking turns, becoming independent, following routines, interacting more with peers than just verbal communication, engaging in meaningful relationships, controlling and managing emotions, and developing a positive and loving self-image.
Cognitive Development: Science, Math, and Social Studies
Cognitive development is how children gain knowledge, skills, and problem-solving, which help them to think about and understand the world around them.
Math
Early math skills involve children learning the basic concepts of numbers, counting, simple addition, and subtraction. We begin with learning how to count one by one using manipulative materials. We also learn how to recognize single and double-digit numbers. Children also learn how to construct simple patterns and sort objects by color, shape, and size.
Science
Science helps children develop an understanding of scientific concepts and develop inquiry skills. Scientific development in young children consists of children using their senses in order to observe, compare, measure, make predictions, classify, and construct hypotheses.
Social Studies
Social studies learning begins as children make friends and participate in decision-making in the classroom. Then it moves beyond the facility into the neighborhood and around the world.
Physical Development: Fine and Gross Motor
Fine Motor:
Children learn how to control the muscle movement in their hands to obtain hand-eye coordination and more. There are specific ways we do this in the classroom such as having your child use scissors, color, play with Legos, draw pictures, and more.
Gross Motor:
Kids rely on gross motor skills for everyday activities at the facility, at home, and in the community. By playing actively indoors and outdoors, each child develops muscle strength, endurance, agility, coordination, balance, and flexibility, as well as builds confidence and social skills.
Sensory Exploration
The students participate in activities that allow them to explore different types of materials and enhance their senses through music and dance games, and sensory bin exploration. They learn about a variety of materials that smell, feel, and taste very differently!
Art, Music, Dance, and Creative Expression
Teachers plan activities to introduce children to different kinds of art media, music, culture, and dance to encourage the student’s development of creativity and imagination. Many opportunities are presented for exploration by playing with water, dirt, kinetic sand, many seasonal nature items, and various food items on the sensory table. The arts allow students to dive into different means of expressing themselves and have fun while doing so!
