EDUCATION & ENRICHMENT GUIDE
Expanding Knowledge in Early Childhood Development
W
e are a Childcare Center for ages 6
weeks to 6 years. We are a teaching
based center and offer pre-school
curriculum concept that starts as early as
our Infant class.
Our curriculum provides an introduction to
basic learning skills, ne arts and physical
education through developmentally appro-
priate experiences.
Language Arts focus on phonics and letter
recognition as well as vocabulary and verbal
skills.
The children learn mathematics by the
recognition of numbers and their concrete
value versus mere counting. Working with
colors, textures, shapes and sizing activities
develops visual discrimination.
Fine Arts encourage their creative skills
through various art mediums, music, litera-
ture, movement and play.
Physical education such as dance, sports,
balancing, and outside activities on our
enclosed playground supports gross motor
development.
Fine motor skills are developed in their
hands through various activities such as
bead stringing, pegboards, sewing, puzzles,
and nuts and bolts.
Our staff is degreed in Early Childhood
Education and CPR and First Aid certied.
They are loving, caring, talented and nurtur-
ing individuals who are concerned with
each childs social, emotional, physical and
intellectual development. Each one contin-
ues to expand their knowledge by attending
workshops and other forms of continuing
education programs focused on the ever
changing needs of families and Early Child-
hood Development.
During our summer month we offer eld
trips and fun activities that continue to
promote learning while giving the children a
break from a traditional learning setting.

We offer Pre-Kindergarten. Not Pre-School.
Is there a difference? You decide.
St. Pauls Lutheran School offers
families much more than play
centers where children are left
to entertain themselves. Instead,
children receive direct
instruction in phonics, math,
music and literature at the level
of their ability from the very
beginning.
Even in their tender years,
children have an exceptional
capacity to learn. Our Pre-
Kindergarten program is
intentionally designed to
prepare children socially and
academically for what follows.
Our Kindergarten to Grade 8
program nurtures children to
become independent learners.
Drawing on such proven
curricula as Spaldings Writing
Road to Reading, the Shurley
Grammar Method, Saxon Math,
FOSS Science, and a literature-
based reading program,
teachers introduce children to
the Great Ideas of Western
Civilization in the context of a
classical Lutheran education.
We dont just teach children to
read well. We teach them to be
well-read.
For over 100 years, St. Pauls
Lutheran Church and School
has been teaching parents and
children alike to look to God in
faith and to care for their
neighbors in love. Contact us if
you would like more details
about a conservative, Bible-
based, classical Lutheran
education for your family.

EDUCATION & ENRICHMENT GUIDE
At Tallgrass, students decide for themselves how to spend their days. Our
philosophy, which includes democratic governance and age mixing (5-19),
is supported by research and built on trust, freedom, and responsibility.
We use a student-centered, organic approach to learning. On a typical
day, students might be engaged in sewing, learning Japanese, reading,
roller skating, going for walks, cooking, or just hanging out together. In a
setting in which students are free to make their own choices, they become
independent, trustworthy, and responsible.

Heres what Tallgrass students and parents have to say about the school:
You dont have to eat at only one time. You can talk to your friends
whenever you want. Student, age 6
You are challenged to think for yourself and you are challenged
with the charge of responsibility for your own choices.
Tallgrass graduate
Our daughter has learned how to manage conict in a healthy and
independent way. What most children passively learn in school,
my daughter has learned at Tallgrass as by products of her active
participation in life. Tallgrass parent
We like that our daughter [age 6] is able to work on projects/goals
at her own pace, and is truly proud of herself when she completes
them. We like that she is seen as an equal to the adult staff and is
able to engage in conversation with them.
