Curriculum Overview
First Year 3’s Curriculum
Our 3’s class is play and theme based and meant to provide an opportunity for children to make new friends while developing cognitive, social and fine and large motor skills. Our spiritually guided curriculum will introduce language and reading, shapes and colors, exposure to various art media, introductions to both letter recognition and pre-math concepts and character development.
The school day starts with a prayer and snack begins with a grace.
Pre-K and T-K Curriculum (4’s & 5’s)
This class will focus on kindergarten readiness. We will continue with social skills, following directions, listening, staying focused and problem solving. The curriculum will consist of science activities, dramatic play, arts and crafts and manipulatives. The curriculum will also consist of Touch Math and Zoo-phonics.
Zoo-phonics is a multisensory language arts program that introduces and teaches the alphabet with the use of signals, sound and letter recognition.
TouchMath is a math readiness curriculum that introduces one-one correspondence, sorting, number recognition, graphing and the concept of beside, under and over to name a few.
Gym time introduces our students to large motor activities , games and team playing while working on social skills, self-control and balance and large motor development.
Science at Little Lights is centered around discovery through interactive, teacher planned, hands-on experiments. Students are encouraged to predict, observe, participate in and discuss experiments they conduct both independently and with a group with their teacher and peers.
Every morning our students “sign in” thereby practicing their handwriting skills.
Chapel
Our chapel curriculum is non-denominational and is designed for our children of Little Lights. We believe that the Christian faith is a part of who we are and what we will become because our faith guides us in every stage of our lives.
Our goal is for our Little Lights graduates to be “kindergarten ready” by…
Fostering the development of language, early literacy and early math skills
Promoting fine and large motor skills
Exposing the children to a wide variety of artistic and musical activities.
Supporting and encourage self-control and self-discipline
Enhancing positive growth, development, self-esteem and confidence.
