CURRICULUM

Our curriculum focuses on literature based weekly themes. We integrate different areas, such as language, math, science, social skills, fine/gross motor, creativity and music into each weekly theme. Hands on experiences, games and fun projects and activities are used every day to teach the skills listed above.

Our Pre-Kindergarten students are preparing for Pre-K by learning basic skills such as letters, numbers, colors, shapes, problem solving and creativity. We also focus on fine motor skills so that they are able to write their names and use scissors efficiently. The Nursery students are exposed to all of the above skills as well as social skills.
