The preschool curriculum balances math, reading, science, art, physical and social development skills. Teachers incorporate curriculum such as Wee Learn©, Five in a Row©, Gospel Light©, Time to Sign©, and The Wright Group’s Doors to Discovery© in their daily activities. The teachers recognize that children develop at different rates and in different ways. Learning through play allows the children an opportunity to explore and investigate the world around them. The teachers facilitate each child’s learning through both teacher-directed and child-initiated activities.
