Our Curriculum

Valley Baptist Preschool builds our teacher-created lessons from two different curricula for our students. First, we use the Creative Curriculum published by Teaching Strategies and we also provide a faith-based Christian curriculum, My First Look by Orange.

Each day the children learn foundational life skills, pre-reading, and pre-math concepts. Learning centers in the classroom include Dramatic play, Loose parts, Science, Blocks, Creative arts, Music, Library, and Technology. The children also have Gross Motor time in our full-sized gym or on the playground (weather permitting). Each month, the teachers contribute to a unit letter to keep parents informed on the studies planned for that month. They also send out a weekly message, using the Brightwheel App, to update the parents on what the kids learned and what to look forward to the following week.

In order to utilize the curriculum to meet the needs of each individual, student assessments occur in the winter and spring, using the state-approved Healthy Beginnings assessment program. Combining assessment results with parent input enables the teacher to develop a learning plan for the individual needs of your child.
