Children ages 3-5 come with their own special joys and challenges. We want to equip you with the knowledge you need to best teach and care for your beloved preschool class. Share these tips and tricks with the preschool teachers and volunteers in your children’s ministry.
In this section, you’ll find articles that help us understand more about preschoolers and their mental and emotional development. For example, “How Preschoolers Solve Problems” or “How Children are Motivated to Learn.” You’ll also find posts to help you instill a growing faith in young children, like “How to Grow Spiritual Generosity in Children.” Learn about the 5 Questions to Avoid Asking Kids or prepare yourself for the 5 Uncommon Questions Kids Ask About God.
The more we know and understand about preschoolers, the better we can teach them and, above all, share God’s love with them.
