Curriculum

Bible Time– Little Lambs teaches about God and His Word through Bible stories, Bible verses and Christian songs. The children will learn of God’s great love for us through Jesus.

Large Group Time– The children will develop listening, emergent, literacy and comprehension skills through stories and activities. They will also have experiences with rhythm and movement, nursery rhymes, singing songs, games, and problem solving.

Small Group Time– The children will get to work in a smaller group setting to further explore new concepts. The teacher will use a variety of planned lessons to guide/teach hands on activities toward fine motor development, literacy, math concepts, and other education skills.

Work Time– Each day we will work on our academic goals to have experience with one or some of the following: the alphabet, numerals, colors, shapes, and math concepts. We will also be incorporating Zoo-Phonics curriculum to help learn these important skills.

Free Play– Each day, the children will have time for fee play. The classroom is divided into many different centers to provide the children with many opportunities to learn through active involvement and social interaction.

Recess– Each day there will be supervised outdoor play with different play areas and/or organized activities when the weather is favorable. We will use inclement weather opportunities to learn exercises, practice balance, hopping, skipping, jumping and other movement fun!
