Our Preschool Curriculum

Just KID-ing Learning Center is excited to start the 2010/2011 school year off right with a new preschool curriculum!  We have selected a program that exceeds the national standards for Head Start and NAEYC!  We are also very excited to incorporate Christian learning into our program!!

The FunShine Express Fireflies preschool program helps address each child socially, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Their curriculum stimulates thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving.  The activities can be customized to meet the individual needs of each of the children in our group. 

With this program, we will actively engage children and support differences in learning styles, maturity, and interests. The standard curriculum includes language development, literacy, mathematics, science, creative arts, social and emotional development, physical health and safety, and social studies.  It is guaranteed to meet educational standards throughout the United States and Canada.

The FunShine Express Christian Supplement is a Bible-based, non-denominational program structured in a kid-friendly manner.  The program is designed to help children understand what God's Word means for them.  Each Bible story is divided into 5 individual lessons that feature a Bible verse, Prayer Ideas, Songs and Games, Story Props, and Story Souvenirs.  The program is planned so that lessons correspond to a theme, day or holiday in the Firefly's monthly activity plan.

In addition to the preschool programs outlined above, our older or excelling students will use the Hooked on Phonics reading program to supplement their learning.
