Curriculum Our curriculum offers opportunities for creative expression, social interaction skills, communication skills and individual development all in a nurturing, caring and encouraging environment. We encourage decision-making, risk taking, and responsibility. The children are given the freedom to explore, experiment and make choices through guidance and support. Self esteem and individuality are nurtured while providing children with a sense of well being, belonging and acceptance. Our curriculum focuses on: |
Phonics (decoding skills) and whole language (comprehension), taught simultaneously. |
Basic math skills and concepts through the use of manipulatives and a guided individual practice.
|
Science and Social Studies are integrated throughout the curriculum in thematic units with hands on activities.
|
| Spanish and Computer Science. |
Several published curriculum sources, found in Texas public and private schools as well as activities created by our experienced teacher are used to implement our program. |
| An Individualized Approach We are committed to each child and his/her individual rate of development. Smaller teacher/child ratios makes this possible. Accelerated instruction is available to challenge and stimulate students who master skills or excel in a particular area. We recognize the importance of strong parental involvement in the program and the need for frequent, if not daily, communication between parents and teacher. |
Assessment In addition to report cards, children’s work and progress is evaluated through portfolios, observations, and anecdotal records. |
