Curriculum
Our teaching staff is dedicated to make the ELC program a positive learning experience for preschoolers. Our classrooms are arranged in play-learning centers, and children are able to make choices and participate in small group activities. By using the Christian-based curriculum “WEE Learn,” we are promoting hands-on experiences that are meaningful to the young child.
All of the ELC classes offer age-appropriate, hand-on activities that promote developmental skills. At the preschool level, we stress pre-reading and pre-writing activities. These help young children to develop the basic skills necessary to read and write.
