Curriculum Two’s
Faith Alive, our Bible curriculum, is used for all age levels. It is a highly visual and activity oriented program that helps communicate the Word of God at an appropriate age level. Each week our young learners are introduced to a Bible story, basic Christian concepts, and a weekly Bible memory verse. Every morning the children meet together for morning devotions, which include singing and praying before they go to their class. A member of the church staff shares with the children during morning devotions once a week. Parents are encouraged to join us for our morning devotion time.

Our Two year olds will be introduced to letters and sounds from a variety of activities and methods for learning basic skills. These activities capture the attention and appropriately address the learning styles of the children. The following concepts are incorporated throughout the child’s learning activities:

Listening, speaking and thinking skills
Sensory involvement
Manipulative experiences
Games
Hands-on experiences

Count on Math is our basic math curriculum for our 2 year olds. This is a developmental sequence approach that allows children to build on their understanding in a logical sequence. Count On Math offers hands-on, concrete experiences that give children opportunities to experiment with and to internalize new concepts. All concepts are presented in an age appropriate level. Concepts introduced may include:

Recognition of similarities and differences
Classification
Pattern recognition
One-to-one relationships
Comparison of sets
An understanding of the “many ness” within sets which leads to a true understanding of numbers.

Creative Literature Implementation Program (C.L.I.P.) is another way of bringing literature in the classroom. Each age level has a special literature book for every month. This is a whole language approach to learning. The teacher pulls ideas from cooking to science to social studies from the C.L.I.P. book.

Nursery Rhymes are another way of introducing language to young children. Various activities are planned with the rhyme of the month.

Music & Movement and Spanish are part of our regular weekly program. Gardening is also a highlight of our learning environment

Dramatic play, cooking, water table, hands-on science and art activities are a few of the age appropriate learning centers that are available in the classroom.
