Teaching Philosophy and Curriculum

Our preschool uses a unique blend of “child-centered” learning, academic “teacher-managed” teaching and spiritual growth through songs and lessons. We are always exploring new ways to further the overall growth of your child and enhance their preschool experience. Some of the curriculum programs we teach are:

 

 

Bridges in Mathematics

Bridges in Mathematics is a comprehensive PK–5 curriculum that equips teachers to fully implement the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in a manner that is rigorous, coherent, engaging, and accessible to all learners.

The curriculum focuses on developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex and novel problems. Bridges blends direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration. It taps into the intelligence and strengths of all students by presenting material that is as linguistically, visually, and kinesthetically rich as it is mathematically powerful.

The principle of Zoo-phonics® maximizes understanding, memory, utilization and transference to all areas of the reading, spelling and writing process in a playful and concrete manner.
