The preschool program uses the reading
readiness program Houghton Mifflin PRE-K:
Where Bright Futures Begin. This is a ten
theme based integrated pre-K program that
provides children with the foundation skills
they will need to succeed as lifelong
learners.
The curriculum explores literature,
child-centered themes that focus on oral
language, listening and comprehension,
vocabulary, phonemic awareness and alphabet
knowledge.
The program also includes math related
lessons as well as social/emotional
development, science, social studies, music
and art.
In addition to using the Houghton Mifflin
reading program, the preschool also has
created, The Literacy Book Bag Program. This
program stresses the importance of literacy
and the home-school connection to early
reading. The Literacy Book Bag Program
provides the children with books purchased
by the Preschool. Each book is related to a
monthly theme with included activities. This
is an excellent opportunity for parents and
children to begin to develop a love for
literacy and reading! |
