Cape Girardeau School

Preparing young minds to explore their academic, physical, and social potential is the foundation of Eagle Ridge Christian School’s early childhood program. Each child is unique and requires a learning environment consistent with his or her individual developmental readiness. To ensure that every child is interested, excited, and engaged in learning, Eagle Ridge uses curriculum from A Beka that stresses creativity and skill development while incorporating a broad-based learning experience.

Teachers place a strong emphasis on oral language development, since this is the preschool age child’s most natural and impressive mode of communication and learning. Creative learning centers encourage young children to explore, discover, and create. The activities encourage problem solving and enhance socialization, self-concept, and language development. Dedicated, well-trained, and caring teachers strive to ensure that each child experiences success, develops a positive self-image, and acquires a love for learning in a Christian atmosphere.
