Fundamentals Preschool Curriculum Our curriculum has a theme-based lesson format. The lessons include arts and crafts, rhythm and movement, stories, and many more activities. The reading lessons will focus on letter names and the sounds. The math lessons will focus on counting, recognizing the numbers, and shapes. Our curriculum features 3 core components: Life skills: Each day the children engage in a lesson with puppets or games, helping them practice vital life skills such as hygiene, health, and sharing. Pre-Kindergarten Skills: Each activity aims to teach children the critical skills needed to succeed in school. Life Science Skills: Each week, a different life science theme will be taught. These themes include vehicles, astronomy, the earth, and the ocean. The children will participate in fun activities to expand their knowledge of the theme that is the focus for that week. |
