The Green Valley Methodist Preschool & Kindergarten

is an extension of the ministry of the Green Valley Methodist Church.

 We believe learning is a cooperative effort, which includes the partnership of teachers, parents and children. We are committed to providing an exceptional experience to all who attend our school.

In all our goals, we strive to live and share the message of God’s love expressed through His son, Jesus Christ.

 

We strive to provide a secure, positive, friendly, and wholesome Christian learning environment with the greatest opportunities for fellowship along with cognitive and physical development.

     BibleOne distinctive quality about our kindergarten is the emphasis placed on the love of God through His son Jesus Christ. The children learn a different fruit of the spirit (Gal 5: 22-23) each month. Our Bible curriculum, Biblical Choices,

is published by Standard Publishing. Biblical Choices is a multisensory, activity-based Bible curriculum created for kindergarten. It is divided into three areas of emphasis: creation, right choices, and the life of Christ. Language ArtsOur students are taught reading in a positive, individualized environment. Our curriculum is based both on phonics and the recognition of high-frequency words. Our main goal is to develop students who love to read. MathWe utilize the Kathy Richardson math curriculum for number operations that was designed to help young children develop important foundational mathematics concepts.  We believe that a strong manipulative program helps students achieve greater mathematical understanding. Social Studies & Science

The social studies and science lessons are interactive and “hands-on”. For example, we plant an herb garden and learn about its maintenance.Experiential learning is encouraged as we take monthly field trips related to unit studies.

Computers, Physical Education, Music & ArtOur students have the opportunity to engage in extra-curricular activities in physical education, music and art. We feature an “artist of the month” chosen from the great masters. We believe this encourages our students to learn the rich heritage of the arts.

We offer the Kindergarten Advantage! Program provided by Computer Explorers. KA! is a unique technology applications course specifically designed for kindergarten students. The goal is

Our kindergarten class is in session Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Classes begin the Tuesday after Labor Day and end the first Friday in June. We believe students thrive in small classes; therefore, we limit our class size to 15 students. Our teacher is licensed by the State of Nevada, Department of Education to teach elementary school.

The Green Valley Methodist Preschool & Kindergarten accepts children of any race, color, national/ethnic origin or religion.A $100.00 non-refundable registration fee is due at the time of enrollment. After enrollment, parents will receive a registration packet that must be completed and returned prior to the first day of school. Tuition is $550.00 per month.

Green Valley Methodist Preschool & Kindergarten is a non-profit organization. We operate solely on the tuition fees collected from our students. Tuition is the same each month of our school year and we are unable to prorate fees for any reason.

It is our policy to collect tuition one month in advance; therefore, tuition is due on the first of the month to pay for the following month. Tuition for September is due by June 1st. A refundable $250.00 curriculum fee is due by April 1st.
