Preschool & Pre-K Curriculum
Our program provides opportunities to develop critical school-readiness skills. Students are introduced to these skills during the Tuesday/Thursday program, and receive further development through the Monday/Wednesday/Friday pre-kindergarten program. Children learn through repetition and firsthand experiences that challenge their developing abilities.
Get Set for School

Our 3-year old program uses the “Get Set for School” curriculum from Learning Without Tears. This is a play-based curriculum that builds early math and literacy skills.
Zoo-Phonics
Our 4-year old classes use the Zoo-phonics curriculum, a fun and playful way for children to learn early language skills.
The Zoo-phonics® Multisensory Language Arts Program is a kinesthetic, multi-modal approach to learning all aspects of language arts. It is a method developed to make children strong readers and spellers using a “phono” (hearing), “oral” (speaking), “visual” (seeing), “kinesthetic” (moving), and tactile (touching)—whole-brain approach. Students actually learn the sounds of the alphabet and advanced phonemic concepts through an easily understood, concrete method of presentation.
