OC Preschool

We strive to instill into each child the love that Christ has for them.

Our mission is to first love, serve, and honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We strive to instill into each child the love that Christ has for them and to be role models of Christian values. We aim to provide children with learning experiences that will help them develop strengths & skills necessary to prepare them for their next school environment.

We serve children from age 2 until they start kindergarten. The preschool follows the same holiday, vacation and inclement weather schedules as the Johnston County Public Schools traditional calendar: September through May.

Daily Activities

We know that consistency gives children security. We have a daily schedule of activities that help build trust between children and teachers. The daily schedule includes a balance of activities to help each child grow physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually. The daily schedule will be determined by your child’s classroom teacher. You will receive classroom specific documents on our Overflow Preschool Orientation Day.

Morning play offers an opportunity as the children arrive to enhance their ability to socialize, share, and take turns. During table activities, they are offered a variety of hands-on activities and manipulatives to help with fine motor skills and organizational skills like sorting, counting, matching, shape recognition, etc. These activities are based on your child’s age.
We meet in the Fellowship Hall each day for music and worship time. This is when morning prayer and pledges are done, followed by music and movement time. This time is used to teach songs and introduce the children to musical instruments. They are taught Christian songs as well as a variety of other songs by a designated Music Teacher.
Snack time is determined by your child’s teacher. If your child has an allergy or other health issue please inform your child’s teacher. If you are planning on sending in a special snack to celebrate a birthday please be sure to contact your child’s teacher in advance so that food allergies or sensitivities may be addressed.
Parents will need to send a finger food lunch including a drink in a thermos or a juice box. Please make certain that your child’s drink container is leak-proof. Also, please do not send any foods that need to be heated. Remember to send a fork or spoon if needed. Please remember to make us aware of any allergies for food sensitivities.
Circle time is a large group activity that the children participate in each day. The children listen to stories, share experiences, sing songs and listen to music that will supplement the topics they are learning every week. During this time, they will discuss the weather, the seasons, calendar concepts, counting, letter/s of the week, and review.
A fenced-in playground with swings, slides, and toys are provided during free play. Daily free play is important for social, emotional, and intellectual growth. The outdoor free-play allows students to get out some extra energy and increases attentiveness in the classroom.
Throughout the day, children will be provided with hands-on learning activities using themed units to introduce colors, shapes, number recognition and values, letter recognition and sounds, days of the week, months, seasons, music, art and holidays. Through the use of centers students will learn how to work independently and in a small group to complete a task. There is also an emphasis on social adjustments. A Bible story will be shared/taught and discussed with the children each day. They will participate in a weekly craft and daily teachings from an age appropriate Bible.
