Please note the subtle effect of the curricula: For instance, with respect to the different curricula noted above (i.e. Curriculum III), we continually introduce the preschoolers to basic academic areas but in an enthusiastic and non-pressuring manner, which will enhance their abilities with reading readiness, math, and science, as well as to further develop their social skills to better prepare them for kindergarten.
*Circle Time is a transition period as well as a time when children and teachers socialize about the community. We discuss issues and events such as about the people who live and work in a community. Also, the children socialize about who they live with. We utilize this time to read and discuss stories, or to perform puppet shows and discuss the show before transitioning to either Art and Crafts, Music and Movement, or any other Curricula.
