We offer Monthly Thematic units including those depicting famous authors, holidays, Bible heroes, citizenship and seasons.
Pre-Kindergarten /Kindergarten
The Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs provide students a ‘literacy’ rich environment. NH State Standards in Reading and Math will be addressed in the Kindergarten classroom.
Phonemic awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Accuracy/Fluency and Comprehension are all necessary components in becoming a ‘Reader’. These skills are introduced and developed according to each child’s specific ability. In the area of Writing, Students learn the basics of organizing thoughts, writing drafts and completing edited ‘masterpieces’.
Math and science are integral parts of this dynamic experience offering ‘tangible’ ways to relate to numbers and the scientific world around us. We foster independence, cooperation, a sense of personal accomplishment, self-monitoring skills and social awareness. Students also participate in language (French/ Spanish/Signing), music, art and PE.
