Curriculum

Child's Play Early Learning Center implements a curriculum that is developmental in nature. The Brigance Inventory of Early Childhood Development is the foundation for the curriculum, which addresses the five areas of learning. The curriculum employs a 2-3 week theme that incorporates the different learning areas. We have added a sixth area of learning, spiritual growth.
Evaluation of student achievement is assessed with teacher-made tests and checklists. Informal procedures for determining student such as teacher-observations of classroom performance are also a valuable tool for assessment.
Instruction in subjects is a sequential process. What children learn in Kindergarten builds on what they have learned in preschool. Similarly, within any given grade, learning progresses from day to day, week to week as a cumulative process. For this to be effective the learning process must be organized in meaningful sequences. Foundations must be set correctly. For example, when teaching a child to read, his/her reading-readiness skills must first be determined.

We work toward reading-readiness!

There are many techniques that prepare children for reading-readiness skills. When placing objects (crayons, blocks, scissors, pegs, beads, etc.) on the table for a specific activity you can set the proper groundwork by placing the objects on the left to encourage left to right progression. When your child draws a picture you can label the objects and actions to help your child make word associations that will encourage your child to take an interest in reading. We incorporate phonics and sight words into our reading readiness program.
These are just a few examples how Child’s Play prepares your child for success.
