Our curriculum includes sharing and conversation time, stories and finger plays, music and movement, learning centers, small and large muscle activities, field trips, food preparation and structured learning activities with exposure to shapes, colors, numbers and letters. We encourage the individual child to be actively involved in the learning process and to pursue his or her own interest in life, the community and the world.
Our goal is to provide an environment that enhances a child's ability to learn through hands on activities. Planned curriculum activities help develop the mastery of specific learning competencies and objectives. We offer four Pre-K classes designed to embrace cooperative and individual learning. We utilize the Frog Street Curriculum, a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that integrates intentional instruction in key developmental domains. Frog Street is utilized in our Toddler through Pre-K classes.
