 Early childhood children learn mainly through play and interactive activities. Early childhood teachers capitalize on children’s play to further language and vocabulary development, improve social skills, and introduce scientific and mathematical concepts.

Assessments focus on content, standards and goals addressed in the curriculum. In addition to summative assessments, informal assessments involve the child, the child’s family, the teacher, and the school administration, providing a comprehensive view of the child’s academic progress.

Curriculum and Instruction 

ECE 1
ECE 1 students range in age from 18 months to 24 months. Focusing on the development of age-appropriate social skills and becoming familiar with standard classroom procedures serve to address the needs of these students. Students engage in guided and free play, music and movement, fine and gross motor development and academic basics while learning to take turns, share spaces and resources, and regulate emotions. Providing a strong learning environment while keeping Christ at the center of all instruction and care elevates the ECE 1 program to a higher level.
ECE 2
The ECE 2 classroom provides learning opportunities appropriate for a two-year old’s abilities. As the children explore the classroom and playground area, they grow socially and physically while extending language skills. Throughout the school day, children learn the routines of Circle Time, develop an understanding of God during Jesus Time, build a knowledge base through themed activities and practice beginning toilet skills.
ECE 3
The ECE 3 classroom environment supports three-year-old children as they develop cognitive skills and practice good decision making. Science and discovery activities stimulate curiosity as children learn valuable lessons about themselves and the world around them. Art and music activities encourage individual expression. Lesson plans include music and movement, creative art, story time, and writing. An introduction to letters and numbers support children as they develop reading, writing and spelling skills.  Providing theme-related projects throughout the school year, students extend and enhance their knowledge base as they study a wide variety of topics. 
ECE 4
In the ECE 4 (Pre-K) classroom, students are provided with a plethora of opportunities to learn and grow. Students grow in the areas of social-emotional development, physical development, language development, cognitive development, and spiritual development.
Students experience learning in their daily schedule which include daily circle time, daily free choice play, Jesus Time, outside play time, math activities, letter practice and more.  
In our Religion curriculum, Enduring Faith, ECE 4 students learn about the Bible, from how God created us and the Earth to why He became our Savior and more. Using puppets, crafts and special lessons, children discuss how God is present in our daily lives. Students learn to gain an appreciation for what God created and how He takes care of us.  
Students are provided with a variety of hands-on activities which include but are not limited to strengthening fine motor skills and more through play-doh, sand play, cutting and gluing, coloring, painting and block building. Students in ECE 4 participate in extracurricular classes such as Music, PE, and visit both the school library and the Sewell Mill Library throughout the year.
