The Story of Yokohama Christian School

The story of Yokohama Christian School began over 20 years ago with a vision for nurturing young children in their earliest years.
Our preschool programs—Seeds and Sprouts—beautifully reflect this vision. Just as seeds are planted with care, our youngest students enter YCS full of potential.
With the loving support of dedicated teachers and close collaboration with families, they begin to sprout, grow, and thrive.

We are proud to continue this legacy of a strong, Christ-centered preschool foundation, where each child is known, valued,
and prepared for the journey of lifelong learning.

Seeds

The smallest of our students at YCS start out like little seeds.  This is why our 2-year-old class at Yokohama Christian School is called the “Seeds” class. Have a quick glimpse into the Seeds Class.

Sprouts

The 3- and 4-year-old class at YCS is the “Sprouts” class. Each year that the children are in the Sprouts class it is remarkable to see how they develop in language ability, social development, and academic preparedness.

Preschool Curriculum

 

We are pleased to be using the Weekday Early Education (WEE) Learn Preschool Curriculum in both the Seeds and Sprouts classes. The curriculum was developed for infants through pre-K, by the Child Development Education Alliance (CDEA) out of Jacksonville, Florida.

Preschool Expected Outcomes

We utilize multiage classrooms with a mixed-age group of children that stay with the same teacher for several years. The teacher instructs two or three age/grade levels in their designated curriculum as a community of learners. The mixed-age environment requires teachers to facilitate the learning of each child rather than predetermined grade-level skills and content. It is far from a new idea. Children have long been educated in multiage groupings called: families. Where they were learned to read, write, count, life skills and religious education and values.
