Curriculum
Our teachers and staff are guided
by HighScope Preschool Curriculum
coupled with Mother Goose Time.
Our curriculum is research based and
meets the needs of state standards.

“Active learning…is the central element of the HighScope Preschool Curriculum. Children learn through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. Trained adults who understand child development and how to scaffold the important areas of learning in the preschool years offer guidance and support”. (HighScope Educational Research Foundation. Copyright© 2009)  We are also currently on our way to be being accredited with  National Association for Early Childhood Education (NAEYC).

Monthly Theme/Mother Goose Time Curriculum

January 2010 Dinosaur Dig
What’s this? A dinosaur bone! Let the digging begin. Children will immerse their imaginations in prehistoric times. They will make wings and fly with pterodactyls, hunt for leaves with their baby triceratops, and help their friend T-rex find safety from the exploding volcano!

February 2010 Furry Friends
Do you sleep in the day and play at night? Do you have a pouch to carry your most precious treasures? Aardvarks, opossums, walruses and moose are just some of the furry friends that will warm your heart. Numbers and letters will come alive as your children count paws and tails, and play games with mammals.

March 2010 Going on a Safari
Click! Elephant. Click! Giraffe. Click! Zebra. Your preschoolers won’t be able to put their handmade cameras away on this exciting safari. Play drums, roar with lions and hunt for colors in the African grasslands.

April 2010 Cowboys, Dunes & Deserts
Be a cowboy or cowgirl for a day. Ride a burrow and make a campfire. Sing along with howling coyotes in the moonlight. Try to find shade beneath your homemade cactus. Close your eyes only to find yourself bumping on the back of a camel. Deserts may be dry, but they are still full of life

May 2010 Food & Fitness
Fitness is fun – especially when it includes balls, obstacle courses, silly games and music made for dancing. Fuel the energy with nutritious food. Your children will interact and play with fruits, vegetables, grains, meats and golden eggs. Build a pyramid of healthy food too.
