Day in the Life
General School Mission
This program offters theme-based age appropriate curriculum for children ages 18 months through four years old. An important part of the Bethany Lutheran Preschool curriculum is weekly Chapel. Chapel is led by Bethany's pastors every Wednesday at 9:15am and Thursday at 9:30am.
A Typical Day
Children are grouped in classes by ages. Each week a different theme is followed in the classroom for example; Tools & Machines, Dinosaurs/Reptiles, Insects/Spiders, or Zoo Animals maybe the theme for the week. Chapel themes are also followed each week. We post the different themes on our web site: www.blcms.org.
