Center’s Curriculum
Our curriculum is comprised of a combination of the best parts of different learning strategies that are actively implemented in current education; with all stages of child development considered. Of the adopted curriculums we use Abeka which teaches students good moral values using Bible stories, Frog Street which creates an active learning environment to meet the demands of our growing infants and exploring toddlers, and Scholastic’s Big Day which enhances the pre-k and kindergarteners early literacy needs, so they can become successful readers. Additionally we include sign language into our educational program as we believe in the importance in fostering an accessible atmosphere. We participate in the Texas School Ready Program: Texas School Ready. It is a comprehensive preschool teacher training program combining a research-based, state-adopted curriculum with ongoing professional development and progress monitoring tools. The goal of this program is to help children be better prepared for school. Through our participation with this program we have access to the online platform, CLI Engage. The Children’s Learning Institute (CLI); “A leader in the development of research-based tools to improve early education quality.”(TSR website) We use CLI’s assessment data to help our early childhood teachers understand student skill levels and individualize instruction to support areas in which students are at-risk for falling significantly behind. For infants and toddlers, tracking developmental milestones makes it far more likely that teachers and caregivers will catch cognitive and physical delays that can be remediated with early intervention. Formative assessment is also beneficial for teacher professional development by tracking the use of quality teaching behaviors and setting goals for improvement based on results.”(CLI website)
