Curriculum

Our Preschool curriculum is thematic in nature and faith based. We present it with a multi-sensory, multi-level, hands-on approach in an age appropriate manner. We use several resources for curriculum development, including Handwriting Without Tears, Get Set for School and Cross Connections for Early Learners. Our curriculum has been developed based on guidelines defined by the Virginia Department of Education and the US Department of Health and Human Services Early Childhood Head-Start Task Force. Rather than spending most of their time doing book work, our students engage in activities designed to help them develop emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and academically. Our goal is to nurture the natural link between play, development, and learning.
Classrooms


We provide small class sizes with a maximum of 12 children per class. This allows us to provide every child with the optimal care and attention he or she needs. We maintain a 6:1 ratio which exceeds the requirements for the state of Virginia.
