Curriculum

Our goal is to partner with you to help you prepare your child for great social and academic success in kindergarten and beyond while also nurturing their faith as they grow to know and love God more. Research is indicating more and more that successful acquisition of certain skills during the preschool years are highly indicative of later school success. To this end, we use Bob Jones University: Focus on Fours, Abeka Handwriting, and Purposeful Design Bible curriculum.

Child Assesments

Assessment is essential to inform instruction. At this age, the range that is “age appropriate” in just about every academic and social area is vast. Therefore, ongoing, informal assessment of student skill acquisition is imperative to drive teacher instruction. Teachers will constantly be conducting informal assessment through observation and skill activities. Your child will receive a formal assessment 3 times each school year.

Parent-teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held in October. Each parent is encouraged to sign-up with their child’s teacher for a conference time. Additional conferences may be requested by the teacher and/or parent throughout the year.
