Curriculum
As a professional child care provider, I understand that children
learn primarily through play. Because of this, I do not underestimate its
importance on a developing young child.
Preschool Curriculum
A structured preschool curriculum using a New Jersey state approved curriculum “Highscope” including thematic units is offered
to all children. Thematic units include a variety of enrichment
activities such as: songs, stories, games, imaginative play,
cooking, experiments, stories, finger-plays, and more! Each week's
lesson plan is unique in hopes to keep children engaged in their
learning and development. Activities provided are geared
towards the full development of young children.
In addition, a phonemic awareness currciulum (Heggerty) is used in
order to increase student's literacy skills. Each level of the Heggerty curriculum provides 35 weeks of daily lessons, focusing on eight phonemic awareness skills, along with two additional activities to develop letter and sound recognition, and language awareness.
Because language and literacy is important for developing young children, books are a huge part of our learning curriculum.
Other learning tools used: Leapfrog, ABC Mouse, Alphatales, and Numbertales and Learning without tears.
Portfolios
Portfolios are used in order to help keep track of each child's learning (assessment). Anecdotal notes, photographs, art, stories, and other sample's of the child's work are some of the items that can/will be included.
