Curriculum

 

Our curriculum consists of weekly units (for example: family, self, changing seasons) which are used to introduce and enhance spiritual, cognitive, language, self, social studies, math science, gross & fine motor skills. These skills are developed through free play, art, music, story reading, circle time, puzzles and playground time.

Music at St. Bede’s is provided for the 2 year old class and older by Metro, Music Art & Movement, Inc. Their curriculum includes listening skills, singing, ear training, introduction to the staff, & various musical instruments. Children are encouraged to explore movement in a variety of rhythms and sounds. The music experience is enhanced through puppets, pictures, parachutes hands on rhythm instruments and even bubbles.

Library Time is on Wednesdays for children in the 3 and 4 year old classes. At St. Bede’s small, yet ever growing library, the children hear a story and get to check out a book to take home.

Computer time is scheduled once a week for each 3 and 4 year old classroom. The software used helps introduce the children to shapes, matching, reading  and math skills. It also aids in teaching the children patience and sharing.

Socialization skills are gained in the classroom and on the playground. Our small class size for all ages is instrumental in the children having an enjoyable and successful preschool experience.
