Sunday School
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 21:6
PRESCHOOL and YOUNG ELEMENTARY
The mission of Fil-Am Sunday School is to provide children in our community with the opportunities to grow physically, cognitively, socially/emotionally, and spiritually by offering developmentally appropriate programs that are built upon a partnership between the child, teacher, and family.
Curriculum
We desire for our Sunday School children to grow as Jesus did: physically, cognitively, socially/emotionally, and spiritually. Looking at snails is not just a science lesson, it is an opportunity to talk about God and His creations. Fil-Am is very interactive with lively songs, Bible Stories, videos, crafts, puppet shows and lessons that come alive. Parents are always welcome to join us. Each class will be involved in service projects for the church during the year by having presentations of song, dance or skits.
Play Is Important (Preschool)
Many parents ask if our program is play-based or academic. They want their children to enjoy preschool yet be prepared for kindergarten. We do too! The good news is that best preschool teaching practices make the most of children’s natural inclination to play. What’s more, you don’t have to choose between academic learning and enjoyable play experiences.
Almost all research in early childhood clearly indicates that when children play, they learn, and they learn social, emotional, and physical skills as well as academic content and spiritual development. We believe that a quality preschool program is one that promotes learning through rich play experience.
