Preschool Curriculum

We believe that learning is a life long process and that the early years before a child enters first grade can be the most fruitful for building a proper foundation.
Our preschool curriculum is designed to provide each child with a distinctly Christian worldview that supports strong thinking skills. This curriculum coordinates with the Blackhawk Christian School Kindergarten program and encompasses not only the Indiana Foundations for Young Children taught at most preschools, but also incorporates an age-appropriate level of Bible. We focus on the added dimensions that we consider essential to a fulfilled life: a fundamental understanding of Biblical truths and stories, the reality of the love of God, a purposeful pursuit of Christian character, discipline and respect for authority and patriotism.
