Curriculum - St. Mark's Lutheran Church

Curriculum

Our curriculum at St. Mark's Child Care Center is based on the High/Scope Education Research Foundation Model developed out of Ypsilanti, Michigan. It is our firm belief that children learn the best through active experiences with materials, people, events and ideas.

The basis of our program is to provide the initiative for learning and exploration through key experiences in the following areas of development:

Classification
Creative representation
Initiative and social relations
Language and literacy
Movement
Music
Numbers (math)
Seriation
Space and time

In addition to the regular curriculum, our Kindergarten uses the Legacy of Literacy by Houghton Mifflin reading series, math and science lessons and computer experiences.
