We feel preschool should be more than a playtime experience. Therefore a carefully supervised and balanced program is planned to assist your child in his / her learning process. Our qualified staff is fully competent to provide loving and understanding care for each child.
Elementary Curriculum: Water of Life Christian School uses the State of California Content Standards as a guideline for minimum student achievement in each core subject area. Subject areas include: Bible; Language Arts; Math; Science; Social Studies; Physical Education; Music; Computer; Art and Spanish. In some subjects, such as in computer, the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) are used.
Where no state or federal standards are available, as in Bible, we carefully choose curriculum materials that help our students reach the school's expected outcomes. Our goal is to meet and go beyond California Content Standards by using our core curriculum and enhancing it with a variety of activities.
