The three tips for teaching<\/a> relate to Bible teachers of all age levels. Here, however, we want to consider their specific application when teaching preschoolers.<\/p>\n

1) Have the right focus.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Early childhood classes provide opportunity for laying a foundation in these young lives on which they will build in future years. Preschoolers may not be able to understand deep, spiritual truths, but they do begin to grasp who God is and what Church is about. Consequently, Bible teachers of preschoolers should focus on building positive attitudes toward God and His Church.<\/p>\n

2) Be prepared for challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the biggest challenges teachers of preschoolers will face is their attention span. If you figure no more than one minute of attention for every year, you know that you will have a difficult time both getting and keeping their attention. Early childhood teachers must learn to work within their attention span and not expect them to sit still and listen to a lengthy prayer or Bible story. Activities must be kept short with much repetition throughout the session.<\/p>\n

3) Foster an environment conducive to learning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To help preschoolers build positive attitudes toward God and His Church, the classroom needs to be warm and inviting. And, it must feel safe. They must feel like they are being well-taken care of as they are separated from their primary caretakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
