About Our Program
Little Elks preschool wants your children to experience happy and
stimulating activities as they begin their journey into the world of
formal education. These important beginning experiences
develop the foundation for what comes later.
It is hoped that the children
learn to manage their feelings through work and play with others, peers
and teachers. They learn that an adult, other than their own
parents, can be loving and understanding.
Our programs are varied and
challenging. The teaching techniques combine the traditional
methods with the new cooperative approaches to learning.
Whether your child is a three year old or a four year old, the programs
respond to the individualized needs of each age and level of
maturity. The classes are small, allowing time for individual
attention. We provide an atmosphere where Christian ideals of
love and respect are demonstrated. We do celebrate the birth
of Christ and the Christmas story. Grace is said at snack
time. Weekly sessions of 15 minutes Children’s
Church called Wee Praise are held. This time consists of
children’s Bible stories and songs.
Each teacher is hired for her
“Love” of children and teaching. Each
teacher has years of experience in Early Childhood Education and is
involved in continuing education opportunities. Teachers hold
college degrees in various areas of education. All are CPR
accredited.
Little Elks is a licensed
pre-school in accordance with the accreditation of the Kentucky
Department of Human Resources.
