As a California credentialed teacher, I understand the importance of providing a solid foundation for young children. That's why at Olive Tree Academy we have developed a curriculum framework aligned with the California Preschool Learning Foundations, which are research-based guidelines for preschool education.
Our preschool foundations include:
We focus on helping children develop positive relationships, self-awareness, self-regulation, and responsible decision-making skills.
We provide a language-rich environment that promotes vocabulary development, phonological awareness, comprehension, and early writing skills.
We introduce math concepts through hands-on experiences that promote counting, sorting, comparing, and problem-solving skills.
We encourage children's natural curiosity by providing opportunities to explore, observe, ask questions, and make predictions about the world around them.
We foster creativity and self-expression through art, music, drama, and movement activities.
We promote gross and fine motor skills, coordination, balance, and healthy habits.
Our curriculum framework is designed to be developmentally appropriate and flexible, allowing us to adapt to the needs and interests of each child. We use a structured play-based approach that promotes active engagement, exploration, and discovery.
At our in-home preschool, we believe that every child is unique and has the potential to learn and grow. We strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters a love of learning and prepares children for future academic and social success.
