Little Sweethearts
Pre-school girls (ages 3-5) are provided exciting learning experiences
through personal development and relationship skills, fellowship and
recreation in a Christian atmosphere.
Curriculum Design
The Little Sweethearts curriculum is a three-year achievement series
for preschool girls. The individual chapters are created with the understanding
that children between the ages of three and five rely heavily on all five
senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) to learn.
The program is based on twenty-six chapters which are created to be
expanded or repeated to cover a twelve-month period. Each lesson is
divided into small sections, such as class time, worship time, snack time,
and activity time.
The curriculum is designed to be purchased for the counselor. We
have included a reproducible handout and as many copies as needed
can be made to provide a most cost-effective program.
There is a poster and sticker set available to purchase for each
student. After the completion of each chapter the child is allowed to
place a sticker corresponding with lesson on the poster. At the end of
each year, a completion badge is available and may be presented to
each child.
Year One: The Bible From A-Z
Utilizes the alphabet to teach biblical principles. For example, "A--Apple"
teaches food is important for the body just as God's Word is important
for the soul. "B--Butterfly" introduces the concept that when we ask Jesus
to forgive our sins, we are a new creation. "C--Church" shows the
importance of attending church.
Year Two: Gardens, Gifts and Giggles
Relates gardening to teach the message of salvation; gifts of God
which focus on love, eternal life, family and friends; and giggles (joy) to
introduce children to the basics of a good, positive attitude.
Year Three: Miracles, Manners & Music
Introduces children to the concept that Jesus performed miracles and
still continues to do so today; teaches the importance of respect for others;
and helps children develop new skills and enhance their imagination through
listening to music.
Merit Studies
A music Merit study is also available for the Little Sweethearts group
and can be ordered from the Women's Ministries Department.
