Pre-K uses the DLM (Developmental Learning Materials) to study language arts, math, science, and social studies, all integrated into units of study through literature, learning centers, games, stories, nursery rhymes, and reading. Children visit the library, art, and music rooms. Science and social studies are integrated through discussions, songs, puppets, and stories about weather, seasons, people, and animals.

Calendar time introduces the children to number knowledge, time, patterns, and problem-solving. Exploration with manipulatives allows children to learn concepts such as shapes, sequencing, and comparisons. The children receive French instruction from our French teacher through games and hands-on activities. Children will listen, speak, sing, and move to gain an appreciation of the French language. Students in Pre-K attend chapel and assembly twice a week.

Earlybird Kindergarten Mathematics is a comprehensive, activity-based program that uses the pedagogical principles of the Singapore Maths approach to help students build a strong foundation in mathematics through fun-filled lessons and activities. This program provides students with essential mathematical facts and concepts and provides a sound foundation for using Singapore Math strategies in later years. Science and social studies help enhance the child’s knowledge of the world outside of their direct experiences. Units on transportation, communities, holidays, animals, and family structures enrich the curriculum.

Our students attend music, art, library, physical education, and computer classes with full-time faculty. They learn the French language through familiar songs, stories, and physical activities in the classroom. Students attend assembly and chapel twice a week and actively participate through storytelling, songs, and prayer.
