EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Our entire program is developed around monthly units, which are woven together thematically so that learning will be integrated and connected. Through these themes we teach all areas of our curriculum.

Nursery:

Toddlers:

Two-Year Olds:

Preschool:

Three Year Olds:

Emphasis is on desirable social and emotional development with recognition of colors, shapes, sizes, and beginning number and letter recognition. These activities are adjusted to each child’s abilities and interests. Music and rhythm activities, group games, and creative artwork help achieve these goals. Language development is taught through reading, finger play, rhyming, and word games.

Four/Five -Year Old Class:

The program for this age group focuses on personal maturation, appropriate classroom behavior, following directions and mastering the developmental tasks that will prep the child for successful kindergarten work. Relationships are expanded through social interaction with peers. Fundamental skills include name writing, number skills and consistent exposure to letters and their sounds. Language development is expanded from that of the three year olds. Other areas of concentration include:

• Language Arts: stresses the four communication skills of listening, speaking effectively, writing, and reading and its readiness areas, including phonics. The one hundred (100) DOLCH basic sight words are also introduced.
  


• Math Readiness: is approached through set theory and the teaching of problem solving and pattern recognition.
  


• Social Development: aims for a strong self-image and the ability to work with and understand others. This teaching includes character education and good manners.

Each student will be taught through group, individual instruction, and with a thematic approach to achieve these goals.
