Preschool
The purpose and goal of Wheatland Salem is to create a positive Christian environment in which learning is fun and rewarding. Activities are organized so that children can master simple skills and gradually advance to more difficult tasks with a feeling of self-control and confidence. The preschool curriculum has been carefully planned using the Illinois Early Learning Standards as a benchmark to include developmentally appropriate learning experiences that will best prepare them for future entry into Kindergarten and beyond.
Classes/Schedules
Wheatland Salem Christian Academy offers Half-day preschool (9-11:30 a.m. or 12:45-3:15 p.m.), and also offers an Extended Day program for 4-yr olds and 3-yr olds from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
The Half-day preschool classes are offered as 2, 3, or 4 day sessions.
