Our staff is comprised of dedicated, highly educated teachers with multiple years of experience in Early Childhood. In addition to their initial educator training and degrees, each teacher is also required to obtain eighteen hours of professional growth annually per Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines.
It is our belief that fostering spiritual growth is a fundamental component of a child’s development. It is our right, privilege and obligation as a staff to bring the word of God to the children in our care. As Christian role models, it is our responsibility to help our children form strong values based on knowing God’s love. Christian education is integrated into our comprehensive educational goals through Bible stories, Bible songs, and finger plays. Prayer is a regular part of the daily classroom routine.
Furthermore, once a month, all students assemble in the Sanctuary for Chapel, which is an opportunity for a member of the pastoral staff to address the children with a Christian Education message. As the children gather together on the floor at the steps of the alter, they are encouraged to interact and respond, allowing them to become engaged, faith-filled learners. In addition, we often begin our school day by having spontaneous “group hug” gatherings in the preschool courtyard to open with a word of prayer and thanks.
La Casa has a long standing reputation in the community for its superior quality of teachers. Our staff is comprised of 20 dedicated people here to serve your children. All lead teachers are degreed in the field of education and most all other staff are degreed as well in related fields. Each teacher is also required to obtain 24 hours of additional professional growth annually per Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines.
Most staff members have many years of experience right here at La Casa de Cristo Preschool. Our mutual goal is to love the children, prepare them for lifelong learning, and bring the word of the Lord to them.
La Casa parents enjoy a close relationship with staff and other parents. We are committed to the education of our families as well as our students. Parent involvement within the classroom is strongly encouraged as the parent/teacher partnership is very important to us. In addition, parent participation is welcomed at our signature events such as Country Fair, Thanksgiving Feast, Christmas Program, Dad’s Day, Mother’s Spring Concert, Preschool Olympics and more.
La Casa sponsors several traditional and “signature” events throughout the school year. Each new school year is celebrated by a family friendly Open House night in September, followed by Country Fair in October, a Patriotism Day Program to honor our Veterans and the Thanksgiving Feast in November and the Christmas Programs in December. Twice a year, we hold a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Fair to encourage our children to think creatively, problem solve, and explore innovation. The children enjoy a day with their Dads and a wonderful day with their Moms, which includes a singing program and art walk. The preschool hosts an Olympics to culminate the end our PE program for the year, and concludes with an Ice Cream Social for all students and their families on the last days of school.
We have chapel weekly on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays. During chapel, we collect donations to support Feed My Starving Children. The children learn from an early age that “Jesus loves a cheerful giver” and it is a privilege to share our blessings. We also have a collection of foods and necessity items in November during “ThanksForGiving,” We gather bags of food items needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal & give the collected bags to local schools for families in need.
