A few places remain for the 2008-09 School Year Preschool is a great way for your child to enhance their social skills, listening, and basic learning. At Noah's Ark Preschool, your child has the added benefit of developing these skills in a nurturing Christian environment. As a fully accredited Preschool since 2002 (by the State of Illinois), Noah's Ark Preschool's philosophy recognizes the special uniqueness of each child as created by God. Every child has special needs, just as adults, and providing age-appropriate familiarity with God's Word is a sure foundation in meeting a child's spiritual needs. At Noah's Ark Preschool, the staff believes that young children grow mentally, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually when offered a wide variety of opportunities in an environment of love and acceptance. At Noah's Ark Preschool, children will develop skills such as hand-eye coordination, auditory and visual discrimination, large motor and fine motor skills, social skills, learning to share, appreciating all forms of beauty, beginning to discern right from wrong, and respecting others. Susan Kapala, director of Noah's Ark Preschool, comes to us with a solid background in child education. Graduating from St. Xavier College with a Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as receiving education through the Early Childhood Club, Susan has built up an impressive resume of educational experience. Prior to her work here at Trinity she taught Elementary school for 10 years in Oak Lawn. She served as a Reading Improvement teacher, Creative writing teacher and a Preschool Aide. She has volunteered at a variety of churches and schools in which she assisted in the instruction of primary-aged children. We are proud of Susan, and are delighted to be able to offer such an outstanding educator to foster the growth of your child. At Trinity, we strive hard to provide an atmosphere of enjoyment and creativity about God's world and an enthusiasm for trying new and challenging experiences for your child. Noah's Ark Preschool is aiding us in that endeavor. We are excited about the presence of this ministry, and hope that you will be able to take advantage of all that it offers.
