A pivotal decision parents are challenged to make
is choosing the right preschool and kindergarten education for their child. That
is why it is important to know that Oak Brook Christian School recognizes that
families are the most important influence in a child's life, their primary
source of learning language, communication, culture, values, belonging, and
self-confidence.
Our competent staff endeavors to work with
parents to help their children achieve the best possible educational,
social-emotional and spiritual outcomes in a Christ-centered and secure
environment. We partner with parents to guide and direct their children through
developmentally appropriate educational experiences.
The children's
critical thinking and problem solving skills are increased through
participation in stimulating small and large group activities that also increase
opportunities for social interaction. Because we understand children have
differing interests and abilities, open-ended materials are made available for
children to explore as they learn. Teachers take the necessary time to work
individually to instruct children, introduce them to learning possibilities,
enrich their strengths, and help to develop their weaker areas.
Character development, self-discipline skills and growth in all
areas of development are planned for and monitored, so accurate feedback is
available to parents. Teachers observe and assess children as they work and play
in the classroom, documenting accomplishments of developmental milestones.
Pictures and anecdotal comments are recorded for the purpose of future reporting
to parents and for teachers to evaluate and set individual and classroom goals.
Our comprehensive faith-based curriculum is inviting and flexible
to all learning styles. Experienced teachers are free to adapt the curriculum to
the curiosity and interests of each child or class. The staff of Oak Brook
Christian School believes childcare and education are not separate, so we are
dedicated to caring for children and their families in a way that will enhance
their lives and glorify God.
