ECC

Fielder Early Childhood Center is looking for caring and enthusiastic preschool teachers who love Jesus and enjoy helping young children learn and grow through play and exploration. Our teachers create a warm and engaging environment with age-appropriate, child-centered activities while weaving biblical truths into everyday learning.

We aim to set a positive example by being prepared, organized, and dependable. Above all, we strive to show God’s love by welcoming and supporting each child with patience and kindness, no matter their background or learning style.

If you’d like to be part of a supportive team making a difference in the lives of young children, please contact          Lydia Pinero at lpinero@fielder.org or call our office at     817-459-8528.

The Core Program: Spiritual Development
Spiritual concepts are used in daily instruction and are tailored to individual age groups through Bible stories, songs, scriptures and chapel.

Sequential Learning
The curriculum itself is sequential and the concepts, motor skills, pre-reading, and pre-math skills are taught according to the age and ability of the child. Each level of instruction is based on thematic units which incorporate the appropriate developmental stages of growth. The units begin with the focus being on the child himself and then expand to his family, his immediate environment, the community, and the world around him.

Music
The music program provides instruction for all ages and focuses on rhythm, listening, musical expression through song, instruments and dance, as well as positive self-concept development. Varying age groups present musical programs throughout the year to parents and family.

Physical Education
Fine and gross motor skills are two of the areas emphasized by the physical education program. Activities are age appropriate and target developmental milestones such as hopping on one foot, skipping, balancing and tumbling. The primary emphasis of this program is to increase the self-esteem of each child through the growth of his physical development.

On-Campus Field Trips
Each month the ECC sponsors an on-campus field trip where visitors come to share with the children, such as Firemen and Police Officers, story tellers, and a variety of animal handlers. Each field trip coordinates with the thematic units and curriculum of sciences, social studies and language arts.
