All About Trinity Preschool
schoolhouse

At Trinity Learning Center we provide children everything they need to succeed in school, knowing that children are learning when they are playing.  Math, reading and science are all there naturally.

Activities include circle times, music, sand and water play. Art and literature are very important parts of our day.  With our large yard, we are able to enjoy a variety of gross motor activities such as tricycle riding, running, playing ball and climbing.

Gardening is prominently featured and children eat the carrots and tomatoes they grow.  They have also made carrot cake and pumpkin pie from their harvest.  Cooking projects are excellent for understanding math concepts.

Our activities revolve around a different curriculum theme each month.  For example, during the summer when some families are traveling, we have a transportation theme.  We ask them how their family travels, and make a big picture graph (math!) showing how many children have been on a boat or a plane or a car or a bicycle.  We also include maps in this theme, finding where we live and where we travel.  Our songs, books, art projects and outside play will all involve transportation.  We save large boxes and the children paint them (art!) and transform them into buses, trains and cars.  Then they can sit in the bus they made and sing, “The Wheels on the Bus”.  We also take the opportunity to talk about safety in this theme, such as being careful of cars when you cross the street.

It is our goal to give children a love of school and a strong desire to learn about everything around them.  By the time our students head for kindergarten, they’ve gained knowledge of letters and numbers and of course, the life cycle of a butterfly…but they had fun learning it all!

Our Spiritual Perspective:
There is no religious instruction at Trinity Learning Center. We treat all our children and their families with love, kindness, patience and respect. This is the essence of our mission. Everyone of every race, religion, age and orientation is a child of God.
