Pre-Kindergarten
The Fox Den Pre-K provides an early educational program that focuses on the development of the whole person. We acknowledge each child as unique and seek to promote excellence, emotional stability, physical well-being and social responsibility within a safe, stimulating, positive and Christ-centered environment.
To accomplish this goal, we utilize the CREATIONkids Curriculum, adapted from the Creation Health wellness program developed by Florida Hospital (now known as AdventHealth). The CREATIONkids Curriculum:
[...] promotes the development of the whole child--head, hand and heart--and provides teachers guidance and support to meet the diverse needs of three and four year old children.
CREATIONkids is a comprehensive, Bible-based curriculum integrating the eight principals of CREATION Health. These are:
CHOICE: Equipping children to make wise, Christ-like choices
REST: Opportunities to refresh the body through nap time, quiet time and moments of reflection
ENVIRONMENT: Creating spaces that promote active engagement, appreciation of nature and a sense of belonging
ACTIVITY: Stimulates brain development using movement and exercise—indoors or outdoors
TRUST: Focuses on developing a trusting and loving relationship with God
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: Communicating wants and needs, getting along with others, sharing the love of Jesus
OUTLOOK: Character traits that Jesus exhibited—“Fruits of the Spirit” (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, & Self-Control), healthy emotions, problem-solving
NUTRITION: Teaches children to appreciate healthy food and develop healthy life-long eating habits
