Preschool
Program
"Our curriculum includes a full phonics program, emphasizing reading awareness and writing skills along with sight words in easy-to-understand lessons."
A kindergarten-readiness program developed by our Program Director.
Our all day preschool education program "Fun While Learning" runs year round. This kindergarten readiness program, developed by our Program Director, is constantly being updated with the latest in quality standards. We utilize the pre-kindergarten standards of the Fresno, Clovis and Madera Unified School Districts, as well as provide progress reports twice a year to help assess kindergarten readiness.
Our curriculum includes a full phonics program emphasizing reading awareness and writing skills along with sight words in easy-to-understand lessons. Math and science activities are also introduced, incorporating shapes, colors, numbers, simple math and hands-on experimentation with natural sciences.
Our curriculum is rounded out with lessons in history and cultures, music, movement, physical education and arts and crafts. All aspects of our program are presented through visual aids including iPads, storyboards, finger plays, poems, puppets, books, class discussions and our hands-on computer labs. By incorporating field trips to local areas of interest that correspond with our studies, we bring our themes out of the book and into a "real world" setting.
Character development is addressed stressing honesty, respect, trustworthiness and kindness, thus helping prepare the children for elementary school programs such as "Character Counts."
