Language and Early Literacy

The Prekindergarten curriculum provides a comprehensive curriculum of instructionally sound, yet highly motivating, activities.  The curriculum offers children a reassuring first experience in a school environment, as well as an enjoyable introduction to the basic concepts that affect their lives.  On a daily basis, children observe, question, discuss, and participate.  They learn about manners and working with others and they become attuned to classroom routines and expectations.  The program builds a strong foundation for early literacy skills with activities that build phonemic awareness and introduce children to the relationships between letters and sounds.  Children thrive through a combination of predictable routines, a safe, nurturing environment, and high expectations.  Exposure to many interesting concepts, along with a strong emphasis on oral language development and classroom discussion, enhance children’s vocabulary acquisition, boost their self-esteem and self confidence, and prepare them for later school success.
