One of the key experiences in developing language and literacy skills involves writing in various ways, such as drawing, scribbling and creating letter-like forms.

Bright Eyes Kindergarten Curriculum

Our main objective is to educate and nurture your child. Our learning program is geared to prepare your child for kindergarten, both intellectually and socially.

Bright Eyes utilizes two curriculum programs. The High/Scope curriculum is a research-based program that comes highly recommended by educational specialists (for more information, see www.highscope.org).  The High/Scope program centers on active, hands-on learning as the most effective means of educating children. The five key components of the curriculum are:

1. Active learning
2. Positive adult-child interactions
3. A child-friendly learning environment
4. A consistent daily routine
5. Team-based daily child assessment     

The Letter People Curriculum or Let's Begin with the Letter People® is an early education curriculum that uses thematic units to develop children's language and literacy skills (for more information, see www.abramsandcompany.com). A major focus of the curriculum is phonological awareness, including rhyming, word play, alliteration, and segmentation. Children are encouraged to learn as individuals, in small groups, and in a whole-class environment. Both cognitive and socio-emotional developments are presented as keys to learning.

In addition to gaining basic knowledge and skills that prepare your child for kindergarten, Bright Eyes teaches your child the basics of the Spanish language and sign language.  Bright Eyes also incorporates computers and music movement components into everyday activities.

Bright Eyes classrooms have a variety of materials that support active learning, including building blocks, sand and water, art and craft supplies, just to name a few.
