Heggertey

Is our daily explicit phonemic awareness instruction for our pre-k classes. The lessons include eight phonological and phonemic awareness skills, taught in a systematic progression. Using nursery rhymes and language play this program promotes students’ alphabet knowledge and language literacy.

Through this program, We see improvement in student’s spelling, writing, and reading as the students learn to hear the sounds in words.

Zoo Phonics

Zoo-phonics is a Multisensory Language Arts Program. The fun and playful program to teach kids reading, spelling, and writing. Using a kinesthetic, multi-modal approach to learning all aspects of language arts, including vocabulary development and articulation, based on phonics and phonemic awareness. This program uses the method of “phono” hearing, “oral” speaking, “visual” seeing, “kinesthetic” moving, and “tactile” touching. Zoo-phonics uses a whole-brain approach for students to learn the sounds of the alphabet and advanced phonemic concepts. Which is introduced to them in a fun, imagery-based presentation.

Friendzy

Is a social-emotional character development program designed for the school environment. Though Friendzy in its entirety can go all the way up to high school. We of course utilize their Pre-K program. Friendzy is a proven solution to tackle the friendship challenges every student faces. As a life skills program, Friendzy equips and teaches kids to be really good friends, creating a lasting impact on the next generation. By proactively addressing unkind behavior, reducing stress, equipping with healthy relationship skills, and improving focus and academic performance, which will increase resiliency for success in school and life.

Frolic

Is a program designed by experts to introduce faith concepts in age-appropriate ways. The unique thing about this program is that it actually can be used from the ages of birth and up. Therefore we utilize their infant curriculum over in the Infant Cottage along with our Preschoolers. The Preschool program is the curriculum we follow along with daily chapel for ages 3-5. The goal of this curriculum is to bring faith concepts to life at their level. Features include age-appropriate play spaces, prayers, storytelling, music, and practices.

Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting is one of the foundational skills that leads students toward automatic word recognition. In this program our students write by hand, practicing letter formation and letter recognition. Once they begin to recognize the shapes of these individual letters they can prepare to begin reading.  Through this program, they will learn to retrieve the symbol for the sound automatically, so as students practice Handwriting Without Tears (HWT), they are learning to transfer that knowledge.
