3s Program

Teaching is done through the use of monthly themes such as:

All About Me The Five Senses Transportation Community Helpers Construction

Weather Health & Nutrition Animals Friendship Children of the World

The CURRICULUM used to broaden these themes is:
Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence - a set of model guidelines describing fundamental competencies and specific knowledge that, for children from three to five years of age, can provide a solid, coherent foundation for later learning in kindergarten and beyond. (www.coreknowledge.org)
Scripture Bites – biblically integrates the theme into all areas of learning.
