Preschool Curriculum

Our preschool classrooms utilize The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool.

• The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool is based on the most current research about preschool child development and learning.                                                                                                                                                                                                               
• Teaching Strategies GOLD is the Assessment System used to analyze our student’s growth and development.  It is aligned to the New Jersey Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards.                                            
• The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool supports social-emotional, cognitive, physical and language development as well as learning in the following content areas: literacy, mathematics, science and technology, social studies and the arts.                                                                                                                                                                                            
• Content is presented through the use of project-based studies and investigations, which support children’s natural curiosity while encouraging learning. Project-based studies are a great means for you to become involved in your child’s education; just ask your child’s teacher how you can support the class’s study!

Lending Libraries

 

Each classroom has a lending library to expose our students to a variety of books.  Each day, children are invited to select a book, based upon their interest, to take home and read with their families.
