Our preschool program is all about encouraging their curiosity for learning through play and building confidence. We follow a curriculum based on the California Preschool Learning Foundations and Frameworks and Guided Language Acquisition Design (GLAD). Students engage in learning at their own entry points and are given multiple ways to respond. This model fosters a success-based, interactive environment that stresses cross-cultural respect and sensitivity and that values the family, community, and language of the child. Intentionally creating language rich environments, our preschool program is based on successful research-based strategies that is alive with words, aloud with language, and results in language-rich learning. This curriculum capitalizes on the strengths of the individual child as well as develops areas that need improvement, is developmentally, linguistically and culturally appropriate, and acknowledges and embraces diversity.
