Eighth Street Preschool

Eighth Street Preschool Eighth Street Preschool is a service of Eighth Street Mennonite Church. We offer classes for three and four year-old children.

Eighth Street Preschool offers opportunities for each child to play and share with other children, develop self-confidence and find acceptable ways of expressing feelings
Classroom activities which include parents and grandparents sharing their interests, hobbies and skills. We lead activities which encourage curiosity and self-awareness. Our lead teachers hold college degrees in elementary educat

ion or early childhood education. Eighth Street Preschool works with Elkhart County Special Education Cooperative (ECSEC) by serving children with special needs. We offer an experience-based curriculum with units such as: The Farm, Spring, Families, Whales, Music, and Dinosaurs. Children also learn through art experiences emphasizing child’s creativity and field trips coordinated with units of study. Our facilities offer three rooms which are well-equipped for a variety of interest centers in which to discover and explore, an activity center for large motor development, and a fenced in playground for outdoor play.

Wednesdays the children work on graphics practice. We had learned that people have 206 bones in their body. Last week we practiced writing our number 2. This week we practiced writing number 6.
Somethings to look for is if the child is holding the writing tool in a full grip or in a writing position.
