Creating a Christ-centered learning environment in which children learn and grow academically, socially and spiritually
At Berean Preschool we offer full-day and half-day classes. Each class offers different amenities and scheduling options to fit your family’s needs. Berean Preschool is licensed by the state of Minnesota and complies with licensing laws. All our staff, teachers and teacher’s assistants meet the expectations of the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Teaching Philosophy
Berean Preschool believes that each child learns and develops uniquely because God created each child with different gifts and talents. In all things we do - classroom management, lessons, and interacting with families - we do with Christ at the center. Students are daily learning about Jesus and his great love for them.
Berean Preschool takes a play-based learning approach. All classrooms have learning centers that children can explore. Throughout the day children participate in large and small group lessons. Teachers align their lessons with Minnesota’s Early Childhood Indicators of Progress. Through daily assessments, our teachers modify and create lessons that will help each child learn and grow.
Brightwheel
At Berean Preschool, we use a program called Brightwheel. This is our online database, billing, and communication system. All families are asked to download the app to their devices. For billing services, it is best to use the web browser (Chrome is suggested) and not the app. Here is how we use Brightwheel at Berean Preschool:
- Enrollment/Database
Brightwheel has made it easy for us to keep all student data safe and easily accessible. The online enrollment process streamlines the necessary paperwork, making it easier for our families to complete and submit the required forms.
- Billing & Tuition
Each family will be set up on a billing plan. You have the option to enroll in automatic withdrawal through Brightwheel. At any time, you can print your invoices individually or as a summary. We do not accept credit cards.
- Communication
At Berean Preschool we value open communication with parents/guardians. Brightwheel makes this easy with the messaging feature. Parents/guardians are able to send messages to their child’s teacher when they are absent, running late, or any additional needs. Teachers and administrators can send messages and newsletters to individual students or the class as a whole.
