Curriculum

RLP provides a balance of academic and social opportunities by means of our ‘learning through play’ philosophy. A developmentally age-appropriate curriculum is provided, integrating Jesus’ teachings within the daily schedule. Hands-on, child-centered, experiences are offered in an enjoyable learning environment. Activities are planned to offer a blend of active and passive segments, allowing a child to grow cognitively, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

These components are included within the context of each unit being explored.

Specials and Enrichment Opportunities

Chapel: One morning a week, the children are taken into the Church sanctuary for a brief chapel time. With the guidance of the church pastors, they will sing songs and hear Bible-related stories. This is wonderful exposure to God’s word in a warm, interactive, developmentally appropriate atmosphere. Our younger classes begin attending later in the year.

Music: Weekly for all students.

Science: Weekly for 4-year-olds and Transitional-Kindergarten students.

Carpool Drop-off and Pick-up: Offered for all RLP students.

Water Day, Songfest, Dad’s Day, Mom’s Day: A few of the special events offered during the year.

Enrichments: offered for all RLP 3’s, 4’s. and TK students. 6-week sessions offered in the fall, winter, and spring during the preschool year.

Discipline

Any action taken when disciplining a child will be done in a loving manner for the ultimate benefit of the child and others. Praise, positive reinforcement, and redirection are tools used in behavioral management of children at RLP. Discipline is a means by which we guide and teach children appropriate ways to show self-respect and demonstrate love and care for other people and a respect for their needs.
