Scholars
From Brilliant Babies to Scholars, our Scholars program is designed to prepare children for Kindergarten Readiness and lifelong learning. We help make the transition to grade school an exciting time!
Classroom Environment
From Brilliant Babies to Scholars, our Scholars program is designed to prepare children for lifelong learning through school age subjects with a focus on science, technology, mathematics, reading comprehension and writing. It is our aim to implement a Kindergarten readiness program that helps our students easily transition to grade school. With achievement goals and bi-weekly skill assessments, our teachers are able to hone in on skills where students may need additional support and to deepen their understanding of skills where they are demonstrating mastery. We limit class size to 20 Scholars with two teachers, always maintaining a 1:10 teacher-student ratio. Breakfast, lunch, and snack are provided daily.
Each Scholar receives a personal sleeping cot and parents are asked to bring in fitted sheets and blankets. Cots are safely disinfected at the end of each day. Our teachers sanitize toys and bathrooms throughout the day to ensure cleanliness.
Curriculum
The Frog Street Pre-K curriculum is a comprehensive program designed to meet the needs of diverse learners while supporting developmental learning domains. This engaging, interactive pre-kindergarten curriculum celebrates the joy of learning as children travel down the road to success. Integrated STEAM projects promote problem-solving and beginning coding skills. Our pre-kindergarten curriculum includes a research-based scope and sequence for literacy and math in all five learning domains. Acknowledging the individual needs of ALL learners, the pre-k curriculum includes strategies for differentiated instruction and adaptations for special needs and English Language Learners. The curriculum is organized around thematic learning units that include whole group learning, small group instruction, and opportunities for children to self-initiate their own learning in our daily learning centers. With nine thematic learning units, our Scholars participate in hands-on activities to learn concepts in phonics, language development, number association, compound words, and reading comprehension. From daily read-aloud lessons to math exploration and science-based group projects, our Scholars enjoy a day filled with exciting learning activities.
Ready for the next step in their educational journey, a typical Scholar’s day is filled with exciting learning activities that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and exploration of fundamental concepts. In addition to dramatic play, socialization activities, and loads of fun, our teachers ramp up instruction to engage our Scholars in core academic learning sure to prepare them for kindergarten readiness and beyond. Phonemic awareness, phonics instruction, sight words, handwriting, and math are the primary focuses during our structured learning times. Teachers observe student learning, maintain anecdotal records, and assess students bi-weekly to document the growth of each child. These notes are also used to differentiate instruction and provide one-on-one learning to ensure each child successfully masters our learning milestones and objectives.
We also utilize Christian materials to highlight children’s Bible stories that are just right for our little toddlers to begin the process of character development, which is further strengthened when they advance to Kindergarten. Our Scholars classrooms are filled with age-appropriate toys and books that are explored independently by students during center time. Parental daily reports are provided to update families with meal and nap times, diapering, and all activities accomplished each day.
