This curriculum is designed to involve children in experiences that enhance language, literacy, numeracy, music, movement and art, as well as social-emotional, physical and cognitive skills. Through play, all areas of development are fostered. "All children, without exception, entering our educational programs should meet the age at cutoff date, September 30th of each school year."

    Preschool

    AGE: 3-4 YEARS 11 MONTHS

    With our research-based curriculum, children develop fundamental math, literacy, and language skills through literature and activities that explore various content areas: Science, Social Studies, Technology, Fine Arts, and Physical Development. Also, our curriculum centers on social-emotional learning, executive function skills, motivation, and creativity, as it was developed with Dr. Becky Bailey’s Concious Discipline.

    We know the kind of education your child deserves and we are happy to provide the best!

    Development of skills:

    • Language and literacy skills are built through sounds, words, books stories, dramatization and writing.
    • Mathematical relationships are discovered through number and size, patterns, objects, and shapes.
    • Play is the way children learn best. Imitation and pretend play builds imagination, promotes social skills and helps children gain a better understanding of everyday life.
    • Connecting with music and movement transforms moods and motivates us to move our bodies. We sing and dance everyday!
    • Creating with art by using different materials and exploring what they can do with them is fascinating to children.
    • Tasting and preparing food promotes thinking and social skills, while developing mathematic and motor skills.
    • Playing with objects of different textures like sand, water, beans and rice becomes a captivating activity when toys are added to it to explore. They all lead to discoveries, develop fine motor skills and promotes pretending as children create things like sand castles while they tell a story that begins with…Once Upon a Time…
