  7. Why is Sunday School so important to preschoolers? • We have something to offer preschoolers (birth through kindergarten). • We have a mandate from God to teach His children (Deuteronomy 6:5-9). • We must give the children a foundation off of which to build an understanding of God and how they relate to Him.

  14. Creating the Learning Environment Social / Emotional Environment • Are children encouraged to work in the Bible-learning activity centers? • Are children free to make choices in the Bible-learning activities they choose? • Are children encouraged to engage in play with others?

  15. Creating the Learning Environment Physical Environment • Is the room arranged in a way that allows teachers to see all the children as they plan and work in Bible-learning centers? • Are resources and materials safe for all children to use? • Are equipment and resources checked frequently for safety?

  16. Creating the Learning Environment Spiritual Environment • Do you have more than one Bible in the room? • Do teachers use prayer thoughts when appropriate? Are preschoolers encouraged to voice prayers during the session? • Are children encouraged to recall a Bible verse or story when used in context to a Bible truth during the session?

  17. Creating the Learning Environment Mental • Do teachers consider the learning needs of each child (using the activities suggested in the session to provide a variety of activities) as they plan? • Are 3s–Pre-K and Kindergarten children encouraged to participate in group time learning? Do teachers utilize several choices to relay the Bible truth to preschoolers during group time? • Are Bible truths relayed to the child in ways he can understand?

  18. Creating the Learning Environment Safety Checklist: • Preschoolers may be left in preschool rooms only when designated adults are present. • Room temperatures are kept at a comfortable setting (72-74 degrees F). • All preschool teachers follow your church’s security policies. • Keep all potentially poisonous substances out of preschool rooms. • Keep an information card on each child.

  19. State and Emergency Guidelines Emergency Procedures: • Designate an emergency exit crib in which babies can be placed and rolled to safety by the teachers. • Provide other disaster plans. • Inform parents of your emergency procedures. • Provide training in infant/child CPR for preschool teachers.
