Programs We Use
Happily Ever After- Reading readiness program centered on classic literature. It is a comprehensive language arts program that keeps children engaged in speaking, listening, and writing. Students listen to stories and discuss them. New vocabulary, skills, and concepts are introduced in a concrete way through a game that relates them directly to the familiar, physical world. In this way, instruction always proceeds from the concrete to the abstract. Students make and use their own storybooks to learn book handling skills, and eventually, track print. Teachers use explicit instruction to break down and explain tasks. Other skills that are worked on include fine motor skills including cutting, folding, coloring, gluing, tracing, and drawing; direction-following skills; and listening skills. Children are motivated by beautifully illustrated stories, lively discussions; and a great variety of hands-on activities, group games, and art projects— all of which delight children.
Stories of God’s Love- This preschool Religious program uses age-appropriate Scripture stories to tell them of God’s love and connects these stories to their lives. It incorporates a simple “Teach and Supply” process and weaves prayer experiences into every lesson. Every week, a new chapter is introduced and these lessons are connected to the home by weekly family enrichment.
