Early Childhood Education at Bethesda International Academy

At Bethesda International Academy, our combined preschool and kindergarten program is designed to nurture young followers of Jesus Christ as they grow academically, physically, socially, and spiritually. Led by experienced educators who specialize in early childhood development, we provide an engaging, faith-centered environment where each child is encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace through hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities.

We believe each child is uniquely created in the image of God, with distinct talents and abilities. Our curriculum is designed to support these gifts through carefully crafted play centers, projects, games, and literacy activities, helping children reach their next developmental milestones in a joyful and stimulating way.

Program Highlights:

• Academic Foundations – Phonetic development, early reading, and introductory math skills are introduced through interactive lessons in math, science, and history.

• Faith-Based Learning – Each day starts with prayer and devotions, Bible stories, and faith integrated into every subject.

• Whole Child Approach – Emphasis on cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth, nurturing a well-rounded development.

• Spanish Classes – An introduction to a new language, broadening students' communication skills.

• Physical Play and Recreation – Daily outdoor play (weather permitting) and physical education to encourage active lifestyles.

• Before and After School Programs – Flexible options to support families’ schedules.

At Bethesda, play is integral to learning. Whether building with blocks, painting, or engaging in imaginative play, our students develop foundational skills for school and life. Through play, children experiment, solve problems, and grow in confidence, curiosity, and creativity in a nurturing Christian environment.
