The Macmillan/McGraw-Hill’s Little Treasures, comprehensive pre-k literacy curriculum is used in the preschool classroom which aligns with the elementary reading program.  In addition, Every Mathematics, which emphasizes the application of mathematics to real-world situations, is also used in the classroom.  Learning centers include dramatic play, art, writing, block, science, sensory, manipulative, music, movement and gross motor activities.

The Work Sampling System assessment tool allows teachers to evaluate the skills of children through a series of evaluations, allowing teachers to make informed decisions about how to guide instruction.
