Curriculum Overview

Language Arts:

From our youngest student through kindergarten, alphabet learning and reading experiences are integrated as part of our daily curriculum.

Sign Language:

Signing Exact English (SEE) is introduced to even our youngest of students. Children pick up the use of signs quickly and enjoy the new communication it brings.


Social Studies:

The study of people, lands and the world around us is introduced during our winter program, "Celebrations Around the World" and becomes more of a focus as children enter into our Kindergarten program.   

Art & Sensory:

Engaging children in a variety of art and sensory opportunities gives their imagination the freedom to explode! We offer several "touching-table" experiences along with many different inside and outside avenues of artistic expression. We encourage the use of a generous amount of materials and allow ample time for the children to enjoy the process.

Math & Science:

Basic concepts of science are discovered through hands-on exploration and experimentation. "Mathematics Their Way" and "Everyday Math" are programs used in the Toddler through Kindergarten programs.

Music:

Music fills our classrooms all the daylong. Many classical children's tunes seasoned with contemporary styles are a delight to students and teachers alike.

Physical Fitness:

Activities to increase motor skills, eye/hand coordination, balance and rhythm are included throughout the course of the school day.

 

Outside Space:

Running, hopping, skipping, wheeling, push and pull are activity words used to describe our outside space. The joys of gardening, grassy areas, along with walking and hiking paths, enhance our northwest backyard play.
