Curriculum

 

The Frog Street Press Curriculum is used in our Infant-3s classrooms to enhance the overall classroom experience. Content areas include Social and Emotional Development, Language and Communication, Literacy, Literacy Writing, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, Physical Development, and Technology. The development of these skills is produced by weekly themed lesson plans. Frog Street Press is both research-based, and play based, allowing us to take the latest information on how children’s brains develop and use it to inform our teaching practices. Rather than separating lessons into subject areas, Frog Street addresses each aspect of child development: Cognitive, Social/Emotional, Language and Literacy, and Physical (both fine motor and gross motor skills). Children are given multiple opportunities throughout the day to manipulate materials, explore textures, experiment with cause and effect, enjoy literature - both through teacher directed story times and student-initiated exploration – write with a variety of materials, experience free play, and engage in large group, small group, and one on one teacher led learning. Frog Street Press Curriculum is endorsed by TEA.

Learning Without Tears®, a rigorous play-based and research-based curriculum is used in our Pre-K Classes. This curriculum aligns to the Science of Reading and supports students at all levels of learning. 

Daily Schedules

Physical Activity

Outside play is an important part of each child’s growth and development. Each class has a scheduled time to enjoy playing outside. On the occasion that weather, air quality (including high allergen levels), or other incident prevents safe outdoor play, the Director or Assistant Director will instruct staff to utilize the gym. A Child Care Weather Watch chart is utilized to help assess weather conditions.
