The curriculum of Church of the Savior Preschool reflects the need for young children to have a variety of firsthand experiences to help them become aware of God’s world, and of themselves and others. Content is taught within a framework that is Christ-centered and developmentally appropriate. The process of learning is very important. Through discovery learning, children grow in many areas — art, music, language, math, science, social skills and perceptual-motor development. Our classrooms are child-oriented with opportunities for both structured and self-directed activities and experiences.
Church of the Savior Preschool offers a variety of programs and schedules with both full day and half day sessions. Our programs run from September through June. Contact the School Office at School@cosparamus.org or by phone at (201)261-0426 for more information or arrange for a tour of our facilities and be introduced to our preschool family!
