The curriculum is based on accepted truths from education experts and on trial and error from being a mom and a teacher to many preschoolers! :) Activities will be visual, auditory and kinesthetic so that every child regardless of their learning style can find success. While we are learning new concepts in reading and math, there will be parts of each day that will be comfortably predictable. Predictability makes a child feel safe. That's why your 3 year old wants to read the same book over and over and over. Tying everything together will be our monthly themes that will encourage your child to make good decisions that will result in a joyful and successful future!
