Curriculum
OWLS: Research-based and field-tested, Opening the World of Learning is a comprehensive integrated, Pre-K curriculum designed to develop language and early literacy skills in the context of rich content - primarily in the areas of mathematics, science, and social studies. Unit topics include Family, Friends, Wind and Water, World of Color, Shadows and Reflections, and Things That Grow.
Our Pre-K 4's Program offers lots of opportunities to meet the needs of each child. Our classroom uses a state-approved curriculum, "OWLS.," which focuses on early math, reading, writing, and STEMS education. In conjunction with the curriculum, we provide hands-on school readiness activities that help prepare the children transiting to public schools or our kindergarten readiness program. We provide students with a balance of physical activities and enriching learning activities such as 1:4 small teacher groups. Through ongoing observations, assessments, and parent conferences, you will always be informed of your child's progress.
