CURRICULUM

Whole Word Reading And Phonics
Whole word reading begins in our infant class and continues through preschool. Items are labeled, large print books are used and weekly curriculums are displayed in type large enough for each child to be able to see and assimilate. Our phonics and reading program for a preschool-age child is Sing, Spell, Read, and Write. This is a professionally developed incremental reading program designed for children to learn while receiving rewards based on individual learning rates. Programs on the computer, such as Reading Journey, also enhance reading skills.

 

Manipulative and Writing
Fine motor skills, the precursor of writing, begin developing in infancy. We aid this development by providing age and skill appropriate puzzles and other manipulative, by finger painting with a variety of mediums, and by toddlers practicing lines and circles to the preschool children forming individual letters and words.

Math and Logic
Our math program is a unique system that encompasses number recognition, counting, adding, and subtracting, word problems, and sequencing. Materials include number cards, number bingo, number songs, number lines, item manipulation, and much more.

Computers
Toddlers and preschoolers become familiar with the computer using computer games such as interactive Living Books stories for the smallest toddlers to reading, math, art, and science programs for our preschoolers.
