Fun & Creativity Promote Learning
Kindergarten Bridge
The Kindergarten Bridge class is for children who need a year between PreK and Kindergarten to grow and develop socially and emotionally before entering Kindergarten. The curriculum is focused on the application of kindergarten readiness skills including learning to read, write and apply math concepts. Students will be exposed to science with hands-on experiences through discovery learning. Children in this program also memorize Bible verses, attend chapel weekly and learn the story of the Bible. Monthly themes enrich the curriculum and provide special days filled with fun and learning. The approximate student/teacher ratio in this class is 16:2. The class meets Monday - Friday from 9-2pm.
Music & Movement
Each class visits Music & Movement every day. During this time, children build their gross motor skills through dancing, coordination exercises, and motor planning activities. Music & Motor also supports early reading skills by introducing rhyming and retelling skills. Most of all, the children have FUN while singing and dancing in Music & Motor class!
Bible
Our children are taught that God loves them! Teachers use Bible stories or characters to teach lessons about love, forgiveness, friendship, and faithfulness. Our Bible curriculum is designed to foster the growth of each child and build a stronger relationship with our loving God.
Kindergarten Readiness
Our kindergarten readiness curriculum coincides with readiness standards set by the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) and CFISD. Our academics focus on pre-reading skills such as alphabet sounds, initial consonants, rhyming, and sight word recognition and math skills such as one-to-one correspondence, patterning, subitizing, and number relationships, science exploration and STEM are also emphasized.
Mathematics
Children learn early math skills through simple, but intentional, activities such as stacking blocks, learning shapes, and recognizing patterns. We work daily on these activities reinforcing math skills such as rote counting, 1 to 1 correspondence, and recognizing and writing numerals. Geometry skills are taught through recognizing shapes, measurements and data collection through every day exploration and processes, and simple addition and subtraction is practiced with manipulatives.
Play
Play based learning is essential to development, and all children need free, unstructured time to explore and investigate their surroundings. We provide this through our center time activities and daily playground time. In our centers, children learn about balance, cooperation, cause & effect, develop fine motor skills, strengthen their gross motor coordination, have sensory rich experiences, and practice early reading skills. Research shows that children's brains are wired for play, and providing these opportunities every day develops their thinking.
