Children 4-5 years old
Teachers will continue to teach the sounds that each letter in the alphabet makes. By the end of our Pre-K program, we hope that children will begin to recognize different sight words, count to 100, and be able to write and spell their names.

Emily Walden,
Begindergarten Lead Teacher
Emily graduated from Delta College with an Associate degree in Child Development and has been with Heaven’s Elect since early 2022. Before becoming our Pre-K lead teacher, she worked as a paraeducator in a preschool setting.
Emily’s teaching style revolves around the interests of the children in her classroom. By providing developmentally appropriate materials and activities, she hopes to create meaningful learning experiences that are both engaging and fun.
As God is her source of strength, Emily shares that there is nothing better than having the opportunity to share her love of Jesus with the children in her class. Emily believes in the power of God’s love and forgiveness, both of which she extends to the children in her care. By showing grace, kindness, and forgiveness, Emily hopes to instill the power of God’s love in all those around her.
Outside the classroom, Emily enjoys reading novels and camping with her husband and friends. She also enjoys spontaneous adventures and considers herself a “foodie.”
