Centers of interest in each classroom reflect the emerging interests and needs of individual children within the larger group of children. Teachers work to facilitate the introduction and continuation of activities designed to introduce and/or further needed skills that are embedded into both teacher-directed and child-directed activities. Individual lesson plans reflect: a teacher-planned, child-driven thematic plan with additions, changes and embellishments in each center to further emphasize ideas and concepts needed and/or wanted by the children.
The Day School offers an eclectic approach to learning that includes approaches and materials known by the divergent members of the staff. These approaches and materials may include, but are not limited to the following: Montessori, High Scope, Everyday Math, The Wright Group, The Creative Curriculum, and Handwriting Without Tears. We also adhere to the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards as set forth by the Kentucky Department of Education. Each classroom is planned around the theory of Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) for individual children.
