Child Care Program plan

CURRICULUM

Faithful Beginnings preschool curriculum uses High Scope exploration, play and discovery as a way of learning.

ASSESSMENT

We use classroom observation and work sampling to continuously monitor and support your child’s assessment. Constant interaction with the children allows teachers to appropriately assess these skills and developmental levels as well as their interests and needs. Our curriculum and activities are then modified based on these assessment results to meet the needs of individual children. Our assessment results also indicate areas where we will plan program improvement.

Our schedules are unique and flexible to meet the needs of each individual class. They also provide time for transitions and are flexible based on the needs of the children. Prayer times are opportunities for students to thank God in small ways for snack and lunch plus before and end of day gratitude.

These activities are designed to promote the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of each child and appropriate for each age group.
