Preschool Curriculum Content
WEE Learn Curriculum is framed by theory and philosophy of life. Led by faith and grounded in evidence-based practices, WEE Learn philosophy and curriculum work to support children and families. Children’s individual differences and learning styles are considered as children learn through play and interactions with supportive early childhood teachers to maximize each child’s learning potential. This thoughtful and well-planned curriculum has a multiple theoretical basis. By blending what is known from Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Piaget’s theory of development, Erikson’s stages of development and Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, teachers use WEE Learn to plan lessons and lead children to have an age-appropriate experience.
JCKC Preschool teachers also utilize lessons from Abeka, I Know Letters and Sounds, and I Know How to Count and Write series published by the Association of Christian Schools International. This curriculum provides a readiness program with many opportunities to practice skills that are foundation to success in school.
The curriculum provides a frame work by which children are introduced to alphabet letters and sounds, sight words, thematic stories, and early literacy skills. The entire alphabet is presented twice during the year in a comfortable step-by-step progression. The curriculum also provides readiness activities for mathematics and manuscript printing. The arithmetic readiness program focuses primarily on conceptual skills and includes patterning, graphing, measuring, estimation, attribute studies, etc., as well as the more traditional exposure to rote counting and set development.
Social Studies and Science will be taught in thematic units. Some unit topics are: Staying Safe and Healthy /Dental Health /Spring /Plants /Insects /God Made Me Special /Community Helpers / Seasons / Weather / Holidays
Children will also learn academic content and art in learning centers. Learning centers provide an opportunity for children to apply and critically think about what they have learned, in a fun and age appropriate way.
