Our Curriculum
It is our goal to help all children develop an understanding and love for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is at the heart of what we do every day in our school, whether it is preschool or elementary school or junior high.
In our preschool classrooms, we utilize The Creative Curriculum® which is an award-winning curriculum that enables children to develop confidence, creativity and lifelong critical thinking skills.
How is it different and why did we invest in it for our preschool programs?
– It is based on 38 objectives for development and learning, which are fully aligned with the Illinois State Early Learning Standards.
– The curriculum presents knowledge-building volumes and daily practice resources in tandem, giving every educator the “what,” “why” and “how” of early childhood education.
– The curriculum offers daily opportunities to individualize instruction, helping teachers meet the needs of every type of learner.
– It addresses all the important areas of learning, from social-emotional and math to technology and the arts, and incorporates them throughout every part of the day.
– It offers daily, built-in opportunities for observation, helping teachers and administrators clearly see the strong relationship between curriculum and assessment.
– Offers complete support for working with English- and dual-language learners, including detailed guidance that helps to build teachers’ knowledge about best practices.
– It contains guidance for working with all learners, including advanced learners and children with disabilities.
