Foundations Christian Preschool helps families nurture their child’s growth and develop a life-long love for learning through imagination, constructive play, and educational Christian programs. As an affordable Christian-based preschool, we have been serving the South Hill/Puyallup/Graham/Frederickson area of Washington State since 2013! Our teachers are seasoned, loving, and patient, with a combined 40+ years of teaching experience. We love Jesus, love people, and find joy in serving the families in our community.

We are now enrolling three and four year olds for the next semester. Five year olds who are not attending
kindergarten are also invited to register. If you have any questions, would like to take a tour of our facilities, or enroll your child, please call the office at (253) 841-4100 or email the preschool administrator, Autumn Cleveland, through the contact form below.

CURRICULUM AT A GLANCE

READING
2 Day Students: Our reading program is phonics-based. The students are taught all of the letters of the alphabet and the phonetic sounds that those letters represent. 3 & 4 Day Students: In addition to learning the letters and phonetic sounds, we also teach the students how to read short words and sentences. We begin reading as soon as we have learned enough vowels and consonants to form a word. We begin a more concentrated reading group in the Spring.

WRITING  
Each week a different letter will be featured. Writing is structured for students to learn how to write their name, hold a pencil properly, recognize lower case and capital letters, and focus on basic penmanship. 2 Day Students:  Concentrate in simple letter recognition, tracing, and how to write their name. 3 & 4 Day Students: Further concentration in writing their name, as well as tracing and writing independently with proper formation.

ARITHMETIC
As a class, we learn number recognition and how to count to 100. We also teach basic math (addition and subtraction) with numbers 1-10. Additionally, we teach basic shapes, sorting, fine motor skills, and memorize calendar days, months, and seasons.

BIBLE
We teach a 20 minute Bible lesson each day which includes Bible memorization, singing, story/application, and prayer. Lessons focus on the major Bible characters and stories, such as Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Daniel, the Life of Christ, the Apostle Paul, etc. Lessons may include crafts and projects. By the end of the year, students will have memorized up to 26 Bible verses.

DEVELOPING CHARACTER
We are committed to developing godliness of character and action in the lives of the students entrusted to our care. Each month we will focus on a different character trait and in so doing, we teach and encourage students to practice honesty, kindness, thankfulness, obedience, cooperation, patience, attentiveness, self control and respect.
