CURRICULUM AT A GLANCE

READING
3 year olds: Our reading program is phonics-based. The students are taught all of the letters of the alphabet and the phonetic sounds that those letters represent. 4 & 5 year olds: Besides learning the letters and phonetic sounds, we also teach the students how to read short words and sentences. We begin reading groups in the spring.

WRITING  
Each week a different letter will be featured. Writing is structured for students to learn how to write their name, hold a pencil properly, recognize lower case and capital letters, and focus on basic penmanship. 3 year olds:  Concentrate in simple letter recognition and tracing. 4 & 5 year olds: Further concentration in tracing and writing independently with proper formation.

ARITHMETIC
3 year olds: We teach number recognition and counting for the numbers 1-15 at a minimum. Some students learn to count to 50 and beyond. We also teach basic shapes, sorting, colors and the calendar. 4 & 5 year olds: Learn number recognition and counting for numbers 1-50 at a minimum. Some students count to 100 and beyond. We also continue to teach basic shapes, sorting, and calendar memorizing days/months.
