The four-year-old curriculum is also teacher written and follows the Early Learning Standards. This program provides a continuation of the foundation in previous programs and then teaches each child to make the connections among the skills they have already learned. In the fours’ classroom, beginning to apply the knowledge each child has and continues to learn is the classroom focus. This leads the child to academic success as he or she can take prior knowledge as well as current concepts and weave them together. In the fours’ program, we teach pre-reading skills from a predominantly phonetic approach utilizing the ABEKA readers as well as hands on activities throughout the year. Based on developmental expectations for this age, the other areas such as literacy, language, math, gross motor coordination, and fine motor development are the remainder of the curriculum. All instruction is differentiated as needed based upon the developmental needs of each child.
