About
EARLY CHILDHOOD:STUDENTS IN OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM (PRESCHOOL AGES 3-5) EXPERIENCE A TREMENDOUS PERIOD OF INTENSE GROWTH. PRE-READING AND EARLY MATH SKILLS ARE INTEGRATED DURING BOTH STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES. WHILE CHILDREN THINK THEY ARE SIMPLY PLAYING, SIMULTANEOUSLY OUR INTENTIONAL INSTRUCTION AND PERSONAL APPROACH IS TEACHING THEM ESSENTIAL FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS THROUGH OUR THEME-BASED CURRICULUM. OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS LEARN TO THINK CRITICALLY, DEVELOP SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL AWARENESS, AND BECOME PART OF THEIR CLASSROOM COMMUNITY. OUR INTERESTING WEEKLY THEMES CONSIDER THE STUDENT'S INTERESTS AND BUILD UPON THOSE FOR RESPONSIVE LEARNING. OUR CENTERS ARE MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND INCORPORATE AND OVERLAP MATH, SCIENCE, LITERACY, SOCIAL STUDIES, FINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS, DRAMA, ART, AND SENSORY EXPERIENCES. OUR CLASSROOMS ARE DIVERSE LEARNING CENTERS REPRESENTING THE STUDENTS AND THE OUTSIDE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE MATERIALS AND ACTIVITIES. STUDENTS WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO COMPLETE PROJECTS AS PART OF A TEAM, BRINGING THE PROJECTS TO LIFE AND ALLOWING THE CHILDREN TO MAKE SENSE OF ALL THEY ARE LEARNING.LOWER SCHOOLIN LOWER SCHOOL, KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE 4, THE CORE CURRICULUM IS TAUGHT BY THE CLASSROOM TEACHER.
