It is our goal and commitment to give exceptional quality care and creative teaching with love and laughter in every area of social, cognitive, physical and spiritual development.

Infants & Toddlers: The Wee Learn Curriculum Guide is used for Infant and Toddler classes.  This Curriculum helps provide guidance and activities in each unit to help the child develop their verbal and social skills appropriate for this stage of development.  Also inclusive are the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional areas which provide a balanced program of early childhood education for the youngest children in our program.  This Curriculum is developed around themes which provide opportunities for the infants and toddlers to learn about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Church, self, family, others and the natural world.  Teachers are encouraged to use the activities in this guide to plan activities which will meet the specific needs and interest of each child. 

Enhancements to this Curriculum also include music & movement, hands-on arts & crafts, storytime, sign-language, Spanish and outdoor buggy rides or playground time (based upon their age.)

Twos: The A Beka Curriculum is used for all of our students from twos through K-4.  Specifically in our two-year-old program “Numbers & Skills with Button Bear” activity book is used that helps the children sharpen their listening skills, follow directions, and practice eye-hand coordination as they learn number concepts one through fifteen.  The Button Bear Learning Guide also has another activity book for arts & crafts which gives children of this age opportunities to develop their motor skills.  Included in these projects are concepts that correlate not only with basic arts & crafts but also with academics, Bible teaching, seasons and holidays. For additional emphasis on their coloring, painting and tracing to help develop their fine-motor skills, we also incorporate the “Child Art for 2s” enhancement book.  Also as a part of the A Beka Curriculum, we incorporate the Daily Bible Curriculum, language development, poetry and musical instruction.    

Our Learning Centers are an important means to develop their social, verbal and cognitive development through role-play, sharing and interaction with one another.  Additional enhancements also include Nutrition, a fire-safety program called “Learn Not to Burn”, Science class with High Touch - High Tech, Spanish, Chapel, Prayer, Sign-Language and the study of Community Helpers. 

Outdoor play is vital to children of all ages for growth and development.  The students have both morning and afternoon playground time (for the infants, buggy rides) to help develop healthy bodies, coordination and gross motor skills.

Threes:  As indicated above, the A Beka Curriculum expands their program for the three-year-old students to include “Letters & Sounds” which is a beginning alphabet book for young learners.  Each new letter is introduced by an animal alphabet friend that helps the children recognize the letter as well as learn the letter’s sound.  Each animal has a song in the curriculum lesson plans that helps reinforce the sound learned.  “Letters & Sounds” is also designed to teach early writing skills.  The children learn letter formation and practice eye-hand coordination as they glue items to the letter shape, or paint and trace the letters.  The Curriculum resource workbooks, “Child Art for 3s” and “Number & Skills with Button Bear”, are used to develop their creativity, fine-motor skills and number concepts.  Our Bible Curriculum is used daily with visuals of Bible stories from the Old Testament and New Testament.  Prayer, Chapel and song-time are an important part of the Bible teaching as well.  It prepares the minds and hearts of the children for the Word of God and giving praise to Him for all things.

Our variety of Learning Centers continues to enhance our curriculum teaching with role-playing of Community Helpers, family environment, library and science discovery.  Also included in their activities is the importance of Health & Nutrition, Sign-Language, Spanish, Music and Arts & Crafts and Science class with High Touch - High Tech.

K-4: Our K-4 A Beka Curriculum broadens the language development teaching in the areas of phonics, reading and writing.  With the use of miniature alphabet cards, writing and readiness skills workbooks, most of the students are able to read by the end of the year and understand the concepts of their vowels, consonants and blend words.  The ability to work in small reading groups with the students brings great results of accomplishment to each child.  Additionally to the K-4 Curriculum is the “Phonics & Numbers” workbook that challenges the student in areas of letter and number recognition, blends, counting and mathematical concepts.  The Bible Curriculum is also used in daily teaching as well as teaching the importance of prayer and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Praise and Worship Music is sung and heard daily but especially enjoyed when they attend Chapel once a week in the gym. Music and PE are also K-4 favorites. 

The Learning Centers in the K-4 Program include the following:  Computer Center, Home-Living, Science & Discovery, Library, Blocks & Transportation, Games/ Manipulatives and Art.  Also included in our varied activities is Science class with High Touch - High Tech, Spanish, Community Helpers and the importance of good manners.  Educating our children about Health & Nutrition and Fire Safety are also enhancement Curriculums used on a daily basis.
