Question 2

Specials

Answer

Music

CREEPERS, TODDLERS, & 2’s - Our Creepers, Toddlers, and 2's have a trained teacher who helps them explore music using puppets, finger plays, musical instruments, and scarves.

3’s, 4’s, & YOUNG 5’s - Our 3's, 4's, and Young 5's sing, play instruments, and learn musical concepts. At Christmas and Sunshine Day (at the end of the year), these children present a music program for their families in the Worship Center.

Gym/Movement Education

2’s, 3’s, 4’s, & YOUNG 5’s - This class takes place in the Sports Center, where the gym teacher creates a fun, unintimidating, and non-competitive environment as the children are introduced to sports and different ball skills. Emphasis is placed on exercise and keeping our bodies healthy.

Chapel

2's, 3’s, 4’s, & YOUNG 5’s - The children sing, pray, and learn a Bible story and verse in a fun way through puppets, flannel boards, role-playing, games, etc.

Science Lab

TODDLERS, 2's, 3's, 4's & YOUNG 5's - Our Science Lab features beautiful murals, classroom animals, unusual specimens, books, and various manipulatives that are used to provide a hands-on experience for our students.

We have a sweet Russian Tortoise named Tillie, a fluffy white bunny named Max, and a curious Bearded Dragon named King Louie (Pasteur) III, four Fire-bellied Toads, and an aquarium with assorted swimming beauties! Our lab also includes unique specimens such as an alligator skull, turtle shell, emu and ostrich eggs, a variety of bird nests, wasps’ nests, ‘found’ butterflies and bugs, horseshoe crab exoskeleton, sharks teeth, and more!

We have many non-fiction books with beautiful photographs to help children see what they can only imagine. Manipulatives are used to show how simple machines work. Equipment and supplies are on hand to conduct various experiments.

A new addition to the lab is an Epson Interactive Whiteboard. We are excited to be able to view world science events and wildlife habitats, along with the addition of fun, interactive software for early childhood classrooms.

The children continue to inspire us to improve the lab through their inquisitive nature and thirst for learning.

Question 3

Young 5s

Answer

Give your child the gift of time.

Kindergarten has changed. The block center, home-living, and easel no longer occupy center stage in the kindergarten classroom. State standards, parental expectations, and improved reading and math curriculum have reshaped the kindergarten day and increased the academic focus. Four-year-olds and young five-year-olds are eligible to start school, although they are not always ready for extended teacher-directed lessons and a longer school day.

The Young 5's program at Dunwoody Baptist Preschool nurtures and challenges young children in developmentally appropriate ways while allowing them time to enjoy traditional kindergarten activities as they increase academic skills, self-confidence, and ease in social relations.

Our program is well suited for children with summer and fall birthdays and those coping with life changes or challenges that impact the child's ability to cope with the transition to formal school. Emotional, social, and physical development is particularly important for these children. To foster these needs, the Young 5's classes enjoy participating in field trips throughout the year.

This is not just another year of preschool. The curriculum develops language arts, science, social studies, and math skills aligned with kindergarten standards. The pace of the day and the smaller class size are perfect for some children. The teachers and staff work closely with you to make your child's transition to elementary school as seamless and positive as possible.
