Curriculum

Art

Hands-on projects allow students to express their ideas through visual arts using a variety of art materials as well as tools and techniques. An emphasis is placed on the creative process and experience, rather than the final product.

Bible

By singing songs, acting out stories, and reading our preschool Bibles, students partake in a creative approach to learning about God's love. Monthly curriculum focuses on powerful Biblical truths relating to character development and a love for Jesus and others.

Language Arts

Weekly curriculum encompasses letter and word recognition, phonetic understanding, letter writing and sound matching. Oral and written skills are honed through reading comprehension, group games and hands-on activities.

Math

From learning numbers, counting and sequencing, to shape and pattern recognition, to measurement and charts, Preschool math is a fun, hands-on activity that introduces basic math concepts that help children identify numbers and counting while learning one to one correspondence.

Music & Movement

We love to sing at Joyful Learning! Songs are a great way to help children learn and remember. Singing contributes to teach behavior, basic skills, and social skills. Preschool songs also use rhymes to help children to learn vocabulary and communication skills! We teach songs about Nature, months, seasons, Jesus, the Bible, friendship and all of our monthly themes during our music and movement class. We incorporate different musical instruments throughout the year to teach rhythm and beat.

Natural Science

Observing, experimenting, and exploring is at the forefront of the curriculum. Focusing on the natural world of animals, plants, weather, etc., young scientists are encouraged to ask questions and investigate their predictions.

Social Science

Our curriculum emphasizes social and emotional development by teaching students about the world on all levels: international, national, regional and local. Students are taught about geography as well as communities, families, friendships and cultures around the globe.

Technology

We have two school ipads that are used as classroom tools to occasionally enhance a topic being taught. We believe that hands on learning, play and natural interactions and discoveries are the best way for children to explore and discover the world around them.
