CURRICULUM
Weekly activities will be planned according to the age and development level of the children. Transitions will be used from one activity to the next so that students will not be waiting in line for a long period of time. These transitions include the use of songs, finger plays and “body basics” techniques. Staff will use a whole language approach with emphasis on phonics and pre-reading strategies. Staff will complete a weekly plan according to the established theme. Curriculum will include a flexible balance of classroom & gymnasium activities and individual and group activities.
