Come join us for Sunday School at 10 a.m.!

We're currently using the Live B.I.G. curriculum.

Experience the difference: Hear, See, and Live your Belief In God.

These Bible-based lessons are reinforced by DVD segments.

Children will experience God through coming to know Jesus and the Bible, relationships with others, and learning about God's creations.

The lessons are designed in different formats for different age levels to meet the changing needs of children.

Class Information: Toddlers

Our toddler class is open to ages 12 months- 2 years old. We have a ratio of 1 teacher to 4 children. The toddler class will be learning through story time, centers, and songs.  Along with daily outside time, the children will enjoy music time and chapel weekly.   Our toddler class teacher is CPR and first aid trained.  We also require age appropriate training that is specific for toddlers. Our toddlers are eager to play and learn here at Cornerstone.

Class Information: Two's

Our twos class is open to children 2-3 years old. We have a teacher/student ratio of 2 to 8.  Our twos class is beginning to sit in circle time, where they talk about the weather, calendar, shapes, numbers and letters.  Learning to sit for longer periods of time during story time is an exciting adventure for the twos.  In the twos class skills, such as sharing, listening to directions, toilet training, gluing and coloring have begun.  The twos class will be learning through monthly themes and appropriate manipulative.  The twos enjoy playing outside, going to art and music class. 

Class Information: Pre-K3

Our Pre-K3 class uses a hands on approach to learning math, writing, science, social studies, and health by implementing the "Learning Box" and "High Reach Learning" curriculum.  The Pre-K3 class may be watching a caterpillar build a cocoon or making homemade ice cream.  "Frog Street Cooking" and "The Mailbox" are two curriculum supplements that make learning fun.  The Pre-K3 is a great place to learn how to complete multi-step projects, and experience a structured environment.  In Pre-K3, children are making new friends and learning how to transition from toddler to child.

Class Information: Pre-K4/5

Pre-K4/5 uses a curriculum called "My Fathers World, From A to Z".  The year will consist of learning math, science, art, Bible, childrens literature and creative thinking! Some of the activities the fours and fives do are take care of their class pet, go outside for picnics and learn about science through exciting experiments.  The Pre-K4/5 children will not only be prepared for Kindergarten, but also leave Cornerstone a well rounded individual, ready to be a successful individual.  Our Pre-Kinder students enjoy going to Art, Music and Cooking specials! We are excited to see what journeys our imaginations will take us on Literacy Fridays!  Pre-K 4/5 will be taking 2-3 exciting, educational field trips during the year!
