Child Development Center Academic Program

First Baptist Christian School Child Development Center has developed curriculum goals and objectives for Infants through Pre-Kindergarten.  The Headmaster, Director, and professional staff are evaluating the curriculum for each department in the CDC and are seeking accreditation in the 3 Year Old Preschool and 4 Year Old Preschool departments.  Other departments include Infant, Toddler and 2 Year Old Preschool.  The FBCS Child Development Center is licensed by the state of Texas Department of Child and Protective Services.

 

The philosophy of education in FBCS   weekday early education program is based on God’s plan for educating children, and His design for human growth.  “A child unfolds like a rose,” stated the late Dr. Kathryn Chapman, associate Professor of Childhood Education, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Just as a rose unfolds according to God’s orderly design, so does God’s highest creation, a human.  Human beings “unfold” after birth from the head down and from the center out.

 

The First Baptist Christian School CDC curriculum includes Christian Weekday Early Education (WEE Learn) and A Beka Publishing Company.  These programs involve a child's total experience from the time he/she arrives at the FBCS Child Development Center until he/she enters Kindergarten at FBCS Elementary School.  The learning experiences carry over into the child’s home and family.  The curriculum provides opportunities for children to think, solve problems, and to communicate effectively with their parents and teachers. It provides daily opportunities to growth, development and enjoyment of success for each child.
