This wonderful program is a hands-on, child-centered Reading, Writing, Math, and Science transitional-kindergarten program. The curriculum will allow your child to be actively involved in doing, creating, thinking and experimenting with concrete experiences in the classroom. Our program offers a multitude of rich language experiences. We use the Abrams Learning series ‘The Letter People” for an in-depth phonics study. The class meets a new letter person each Monday and most weeks' activities revolve around the designated letter. The Letter People curriculum is based on the reading readiness development process. Our intent is to provide each child with a wealth of readiness experiences so that when your child is truly ready to read, he or she will discover the joy of reading on his or her own. The use of sight words encourages early recognition of basic words used in first readers. We use Handwriting Without Tears to introduce capital and lower case writing, numerical writing, beginning sentences and punctuation.
The Math/Science portion of the curriculum is modeled after Math Their Way . Classroom math activities are designed to help your child ask questions, be curious, and then find the solution through the use of manipulatives. During the week, we will focus on science concepts through experimentation. The children enjoy receiving their own magazines and learning a variety of interesting facts about themselves and the world around them. Social Studies is integrated throughout our weekly studies and theme units as well. The weekly enrichment classes provided for TK students are ‘Super Science ‘, Art Creations’, ‘Chapel/Kid’s Praise’, and ‘Gymsport’. Students will play on our air bounce and in the Rainy Day Room during inclement weather days.
We believe that the TK program helps each child build his or her self-confidence and Christ esteem through developing your child's ability to think, contribute, and problem solve. Our curriculum helps us nurture, encourage, and develop the whole child.
