Curriculum Goals
Trinity Nusery Preschool uses two resources for their curriculum. Our older classrooms use a theme based curriculum which covers letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and Bible stories with hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities. It covers letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and Bible stories with hands on, developmentally appropriate activities. The pre-K curriculum also includes beginning math and phonics skills.
Our curriculum is designed to:
- Provide opportunities that encourage physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth.
- Enhance fine and gross motor skills, whether outside on the playground or inside each classroom
- Support the development of social skills such as sharing, cooperation, generosity, and empathy
- Foster positive self-esteem, a sense of self-worth, and his/her own unique gifts.
Our daily schedules will provide for a balance between child-directed and teacher-directed activities, quiet and active time, and inside and outside play. Children will have daily opportunities to read books, use a variety of art media, explore math and science materials, experience music, and work both independently and cooperatively with friends.
Through our themes, each child will be exposed to new information and ideas and will be given opportunities to develop thinking and reasoning skills appropriate to his/her age and developmental level. There will be a balance of enrichment/cognitive knowledge material and readiness skill material when developmentally appropriate. Every child will be praised for his/her efforts and accomplishments. We recognize the importance of adults as models of acceptable and loving behavior. We seek ways to teach values for Christian living: honesty, obedience, love, forgiveness, sharing, and responsibility.
