Juniors

The Junior Program encourages your child to develop a passion for learning through reading, songs and play.

Our Junior classes are for any child who turns 3 years old by September first. The Junior program offers a variety of activities and experiences to help your child to develop socially, cognitively, physically, and spiritually. Our curriculum guides our lessons in reading, language, writing, math, and social skills. Daily activities, routines, and schedules introduce children to an early childhood environment with their current interests and needs in mind.

The use of our Preschool App allows parents and teachers to directly communicate with each other anytime; even during the school day. Teachers also send pictures of your child throughout the day and week, as well as logging the various activities your child is involved in during their day at Turlock Christian.
