Curriculum By Grade

Preschool

This program is geared for 3 and 4 year-old who are just beginning to explore their new world. For most, this is the first time they have been away from the safety and comfort of home and are learning how to interact socially with their peers and new authority figures. Our curriculum helps these curious learners through daily routines, sharing games and activities that require teamwork. Throughout these interaction the children learn and practice techniques for self-discipline, respect for others, personal responsibility and perseverance. Students are guided towards fluency through poetry, songs, dance, games, art and play. Our curriculum introduces every type of subject matter in a manner that is fun to these young and energetic minds and causes each child to become eager to learn more.

Pre-Kindergarten

Our Pre-Kindergarten program is for 4-year-olds who have accomplished the basics and are ready for a greater challenge. While much of the focus, classroom setting and structure are the same as the preschool program, there is a dramatic shift in the student's academics. The curriculum teaches phonics, alphabet, writing, science concepts such as weather and parts of the body, basic math with counting, sorting, geometrical shapes, spatial sense, physical fitness with coordination and balance, geography, history, art and music. These children have both the ability and aptitude to do more and understand greater detail thus our curriculum grows with them with greater challenges and expectations to push them further in their mental exploration.

Our preschool program is fun, exciting and challenging. These very young minds begin to lay the groundwork for a broad academic subject matter and the brain connections for learning a second language. For more detailed information on our preschool curriculum which is also consistent with the current position advocated by the NAEYC.

"Those children who arrive at school lacking relevant experience and vocabulary ? they see not, neither do they understand. They fall further and further behind. A good, academically focused preschool program can overcome the egregious academic differences that currently develop between social classes in American schools." E. D. Hirsch, The Schools We Need

By the end of the year you will see your child's growth and will be continuously amazed that not only do they know all of these new and exciting facts but they will be able to communicate in Spanish!
