Our preschool program uses the Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized program. It has a framework that captures children’s natural curiosity and interests while promoting social, emotional, language, reading, math, social studies, science, art and imaginative play skills. Teachers use a thematic approach based upon the interests of the children and a technique called webbing, units are developed.

While using learning centers and whole class activities that teach children to function in structured and unstructured groups, we still preserve a sense of community. Learning is individual and personal so we can meet the unique needs and learning styles of our children.

Developing emergent literacy skills is essential. A language rich environment is created giving children opportunities to identify words, to build vocabulary and to practice reading and writing. Learning takes place informally and in teacher directed small and large groups.

A child’s progress is discussed with parents on an informal, daily basis and a portfolio of their work is readily available. Formal conferences are held semi-annually to share each child’s progress in a more structured way and to develop future goals.
