Early Childhood Education

Using a cognitively oriented, developmentally appropriate curriculum, teachers design a program that will encourage pre-writing, pre-reading and literacy skills. Children initiate learning experiences through activities they participate in. The curriculum focuses on the broad set of intellectual skills, which emerge during the preschool years.

The program encompasses children from age newborn to 5 years of age during the day classes. Cognitive and psychomotor skills are developed through a wide range of active explorations and investigations. School age children join their families in the evening to participate in early childhood instruction and ILA with older school age children and their parents.

Early Childhood Education enhances the development of preschool children and prepares them for success in school. Newborns to preschool age children participate in a learning environment that is appropriate to their age level. Promoting English language and early literacy development in a family literacy instruction forum is provided through the following context:
  • Key concepts of language development
  • Key concepts of early literacy development
  • Opportunities for language and early literacy development
  • Assessment and progress monitoring
