Our Curriculum
01 / MATHEMATICS
In math, we introduce a lot of concepts. We mainly focus on completing simple patterns, sorting by attribute, identifying basic shapes and colors, recognizing numerals 0-20; but we work on many other mathematical skills throughout the year.
02 / LANGUAGE ARTS
In language arts, we focus on identifying letters (both upper and lower case) and the formation of the letters. We work on reading comprehension skills, as well as introducing sequencing, concepts of print. By then end of the year, our goal is to have every student able to write his own name and form all upper case letters.
03 / SCIENCE
In science, we have the opportunity to explore and create. We touch on several subject including animals, seasons, plants, life cycles, safety, and cleanliness.
04 / SOCIAL STUDIES
For our social studies, we start with introducing each child as a special and unique individual. We then continue on to how that individual fits into a family and a community. Through those themes, we work on geography concepts, qualities of a responsible citizen, and an appreciation for the world around us.
