The TK curriculum aligns the Pre-School Foundations with the Kindergarten Common Core Standards. Our core curriculum includes social/emotional development, work habits, large and small motor development, language and literacy, mathematics, science, social science and history, art, technology, and music.
We use the Sanford Harmony Program with emphasis on self-regulation skills, social understanding and awareness, teamwork/cooperation skills, work habits, independence skills, and problem solving skills.
We work on large motor development through our PE program, movement activities, and daily playground play. Small motor development focus is on scissor skills, pencil/crayon grip, and handwriting.
We use a balanced literacy approach to work on letter recognition, writing upper and lower case letters, phonemic awareness (beginning sounds and rhyming), print concepts and story awareness, storytelling and journal writing. We encourage children to see themselves as readers and writers.
Our math focus is on mathematical reasoning and problem solving, number sense, rote counting, one-to-one correspondence, numeral recognition, comparing, sorting, graphing, patterning, shapes, and colors.
Science and Social Science and History is integrated through the language arts curriculum and includes the themes of school, friends, family, community, five senses, seasons, animals, construction, city/country, growing and changing, and cultural diversity.
