Koinonia Little Rascals
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
Ages 3 - 5 years

Koinonia is proud to offer our Little Rascals Preschool Program.Our teacher Laurie Mainville, has more than 19 years experience with 10 years here in our Little Rascals Program. Our program will nurture and encourage your child to be an explorer, creator, communicator, interactor, questioner, problem solver, thinker, reasoner and socializer. Your child will be stimulated, guided and encouraged through activities that allow them to develop at their own optimum rate. Children learn best when there is a  planned curriculum of activities focused on a particular theme or concept. Through the thematic approach, children’s experimental base is broadened and their mental schemata are increased. This schema is one of the keys to learning to read.

• Swim Lessons: one 30 minute lesson weekly. (parents may need to be present)
• Art Expression: Daily projects follow weekly or monthly themes. Painting, coloring, clay and other mediums are used.
