Academics: Curriculum

Preschool

In both our Pre-3's and Pre-4's classes, we introduce the children to alphabet letters and sounds though a program called Zoophonics. This hands-on multi-sensory program teaches our students the name of each letter, along with an animal, such as Bubba Bear or Allie Alligator. The children also learn the sound and hand motions that go with each letter and animal friend. Our thematic curriculum, Creative Pre-K, offers each student a well-rounded learning experience through lessons in science, mathematics, art, and music. In addition to our theme-based instruction, we utilize a writing program called, Handwriting Without Tears in all of our Pre-4's classes. This exciting program is designed to enhance each child's development in the areas of pre-reading, writing, language and math. As a Christian preschool, we also teach Bible lessons though a program called Voyages. The children learn an age-appropriate Bible lesson each week. Art and dramatic play are often incorporated into each Bible story.
