Curriculum |

Our Pre-Kindergarten and Preschool curriculums are a blend of teacher-initiated activities that build on children’s interests and children’s self-directed activities and play. Activities are suited to children’s ages and abilities. It also addresses the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative areas of development. We use The Creative Curriculum® for academic content and assessment tools. The goals for the Pre-Kindergarten class include, but are not limited to, things such as recognizing name, numbers, and alphabet, writing name correctly, knowing full name, phonic awareness, listening, following directions, and pencil and scissor control. Goals for Preschool include such things as socialization, communication skills, self-help, fine motor skills, and identifying colors and shapes |
