We utilize many accredited curriculum’s and well-tested materials to allow us to build a strong foundation of learning and a successful preschool experience for each child. Our key domains are:
1. Science and Math- In the classroom our teachers incorporate both concepts by interactive lessons on counting, sorting, patterning, measuring, telling time, graphing, messy experiments, scientific hypotheses, hands on learning and much more!
2. Language and Literacy- Repetition journaling, rhyming, vocabulary, letter of the week, reading, tracing, writing, poems
3. Circle Time- Our daily morning routine includes the Pledge of Allegiance, weather, days/months of the year, schedule for the day, counting, daily prayers and spiritual songs, extensive open communication with classmates/teachers, and emotional checks for the day.
4. Music/Kindles- throughout the week our students learn vocal approach and incorporate different musical instruments. Kindles enhance our curriculum through technologically advanced educational games. Students learn basic musical/technological vocabulary, repetition, music and movement through interactive songs.
5. Social/Emotional Development- We encourage the children to acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions. As well as acquiring the skills to feel and show empathy for others, maintain positive relationships, set and achieve positive goals, and make responsible decisions.
