Language is presented in all aspects of the curriculum. New vocabulary is introduced weekly through themed units. Children practice public speaking during circle time. Children learn key sounds that play a crucial role in their language development, and build their reading skills in an incremental and gradual manner, progressing from concrete to abstract learning.
Mathematical activities are specifically designed to provide children with a concrete, step-by-step process of learning increasingly complex concepts. Children learn to associate numbers with quantities, are introduced to the decimal system, and are introduced to the concept of addition.
The Geography and Science curriculum strives to support children in their journey to understand the world and themselves by stimulating their natural curiosity and fulfilling their desire to explore and discover. Children learn to observe, compare, classify, measure, and predict.
This curriculum area enables children to appreciate the visual arts using a variety of materials. Children explore multiple forms of music through their senses and perform a variety of mobile and non-mobile skills with control and balance.
Social and Emotional skills enable children to recognize their own feelings, anticipate how others may feel, and demonstrate care. Children acquire problem-solving skills and social skills such as sharing and taking turns. They learn ways to calm down and redirect their feelings in a more positive manner.
