Encinitas, CA
Bethlehem Lutheran Early Childhood Center

Our school offers a balanced program with opportunity for your child to grow as and individual in all areas of development. The first steps away from home are made comfortable, with caring adults who are trained to meet your child's individual needs - in a safe, healthful environment.

We feel children learn best in a low-key, non-pressured environment. Our teachers provide activities that allow for optimum development of a child's IMAGINATION, INITIATIVE and AUTONOMY. We feel these areas of development need to be utilized to the maximum during the years from three to six.

Our Goals and Objectives
• To help children develop a positive self image.
• To give children a foundation for future learning.
• To meet children's needs as individuals and as a group.
• To encourage children to develop a positive attitude towards teachers, school and learning.
• To provide opportunities for children to develop their "whole selves" socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and creatively.
• To encourage children to express themselves through materials, movement and language by providing ample time and adequate opportunities.
• To develop an appreciation of music through use of musical instruments, creative movement and song.
• To encourage appreciation of art by use of many mediums, tools and freedom of expression.
To develop emotionally and socially through constructive co-active play and positive conflict resolutions.
