Preschool Curriculum Heritage Christian Academy is a teacher-directed environment. We believe our students need adult guidance in their lives to provide essential academic skills while providing a nurturing environment. We structure our days with a balance of playtime and intentional academic activities to ensure that each child is actively engaged. We believe that positive interactions and development during the preschool years are a foundation for future educational successes. We also believe spiritual needs are an element of this development. As a Christian preschool, we want our children to know that they are special and loved by Jesus. This message is conveyed daily by the teaching of prayers and God-directed songs, by the reading of Bible stories, and integrating our faith throughout the entire curriculum. About Our Preschool
School Hours 8:30AM - 3:00PM Class times vary according to age and program options. School Closings In case of inclement weather, Heritage Christian Academy will cancel classes when Blue Valley School District cancels classes. Parents/guardians may, at their discretion, choose to remove their children from school early when they believe weather or streets are hazardous. Backpacks Children should bring backpacks to carry their belongings. It should be big enough to hold a folder. Daily projects and correspondence will be in each child’s backpack. We ask that children have a complete change of clothing available in their backpacks each day. Birthdays Birthdays are a special time. If you would like to supply a special snack on or around your child’s birthday, please coordinate with the teacher. We are a peanut-free environment, please refrain from sending peanut-related snacks. You may mail or call children using our directory to invite to personal parties. If you would like us to distribute invitations, all children in your child’s class must be invited.
Absences To report any absences, please call the school and leave a message directly on the Preschool Director’s voicemail. 913-681-7622 x329 Classroom Parties Preschool holds four yearly classroom parties. We celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter. Parents will have the opportunity to sign- up to send items in for these parties. However, due to limited space, extended day, and scheduling, our classroom parties will be run by the classroom teachers during the learning day. Therefore, parent help in the classroom will not be needed on party days. Please note that we do not celebrate the aspects of commercial holidays. We leave that up to individual households. We strictly embrace the Biblical principles around these holidays.
