Philosophy and Curriculum
Our philosophy is that through our teaching, we ensure that each child is loved, nurtured and safe while growing in all areas of development. Not only will the children learn academic skills but also a strong, age-appropriate understanding of our Catholic faith. We are strong believers in implementing an emergent style of lesson plans early in the school year while we get to know each child’s area of interest and understanding. Throughout the school year there will be guided lessons that are individualized to meet each child's specific needs.
Our curriculum is one that follows the West Virginia Early Learning Standards through the use of Learning Beyond Paper. Ongoing assessments and observations of the children are conducted during the school year. We believe that having open communication between teacher and families is needed to achieve a successful year for your child! Parent/Teacher conferences will be held during the school year, in addition to these, we, Pre-K 4 Teachers, will make ourselves available to meet with you if you have further questions or concerns. We look forward to a wonderful, fun and exciting school year!
God Bless!
