Preschool Booklist

The sections called “Literature” and “Christian Literature” on this page are carefully chosen resource guides meant to support your child’s learning during this important time in their growth. While these books aren’t required parts of the formal curriculum, each one has been carefully reviewed and recommended for its excellent variety of literary styles, meaningful themes, and valuable moral and spiritual lessons. These books aim to expand your child’s thinking and help their spiritual growth, offering a well-rounded approach to learning beyond just school subjects. By reading these selected works, your child will be exposed to a wide range of ideas and values, encouraging them to think deeply, develop empathy, and gain a better understanding of both timeless truths and modern viewpoints.

In the “Curriculum Texts” section, you will find books that we highly recommend or required to effectively follow the provided curriculum. While your approach to designing your child's learning program may vary, certain reading assignments will be directly drawn from these materials.
