Preschool

Bible

For Bible, we use Gospel Light’s Little Kids Time curriculum. Year A is Discovering God's Love and Year B is Growing With God.  We will focus on one Bible story each week, enforcing it with activities, a Bible memory verse and a “God’s Word and Me” application.

Literacy

For building literacy skills, we use the Zoo-phonics curriculum.  Zoo-phonics teaches the alphabet and phonics through the use of animal friends. If you would like to learn more about Zoo-phonics or purchase Zoo-phonics materials to use at home, you can visit www.zoo-phonics.com.

Math

For building math skills, we use the TouchMath Pre-K homeschool curriculum. TouchMath teaches math concepts, counting and numbers through the use of hands-on materials and activities.  If you would like to learn more about TouchMath or purchase materials to use at home, you can visit www.touchmath.com.

We do a little bit of “preschool” each day. Along with our morning calendar routines, children participate in activities from the preschool curriculums throughout the day. There will be no set time for “school”, but activities are woven into our day as moments are available. Your child will not be forced to do preschool activities, but will be invited and encouraged to participate. The goal is to build a love of learning by engaging in fun learning activities which will set your child up for success in kindergarten and beyond. If your child “misses” a day, he/she will not have work to make-up. Repetition is the basis of a great preschool curriculum and we will probably be repeating the skills (although maybe not the same activities) on another day. 

To let you know about your child’s progress, observations and sample work will be collected into your child’s portfolio and will be shared with you at conferences. I will also conduct a preschool developmental assessment which is recorded three times a year (fall, winter and spring). Of course, you will also be updated about daily activities on brightwheel. If you would ever like to schedule a conference in between our set conference times (Nov. and May), feel free to let me know and we can get together.
