Senses |
Preschoolers learn through touching, smelling, tasting, hearing and seeing. This type of teaching makes learning more memorable. |
 |
Curiosity |
Preschoolers want to explore, discover and ask the question, “Why?” Find ways to facilitate this exploration. |
 |
Satisfaction |
Gaining a sense of accomplishment, the child realizes he is unique and is created in the image of God. Satisfaction affirms the individual’s importance to God. |
 |
Play |
Playing and learning are inseparable in the lives of preschoolers. Play is just activity unless the teacher is guiding the activity and discussion toward foundational biblical truths. |
 |
Hands-on |
“Hands-on” learning allows the child personal involvement in an activity that leads the child to a greater understanding of the biblical truth. |
 |
Relationships |
This forms eternal connections between the child and the biblical truth. The teacher’s relationship with the preschooler represents God, His Word, and His power, as you relate to the preschooler. |
 |
Repetition |
Hearing the stories again allows preschoolers to gain more knowledge and build on previous foundational truths taught. As the child grows, so does her knowledge and understanding. |
 |
Imitation |
Preschoolers follow the lead of the adults in their lives. Preschoolers learn to follow Christ’s example by following paths adults choose. |
