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!
