For the pre-kindergarten, lessons and activities developed align with the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS). Throughout the year, there will be strong emphases on Physical Development and Motor Skills (PDM), Social and Emotional Development (SED), Approaches to Play and Learning (APL), Communication, Language, and Literacy (CLL), and Cognitive Development and General Knowledge (CD). Students will spend time learning about how to go to school and how to become an active learner in the classroom. Students will also develop their fine motor and gross motor skills through the incorporation of core subjects such as religion, reading and writing, math, social studies, and science.
In religion, students will develop their relationship with God and begin the path of Catholic identity. Students will learn about Faith through Bible stories, songs, and attending weekly Mass. While in the presence of God, students will engage as active, reverent members of the Church.
The pre-kindergarten curriculum provides many opportunities for hands-on learning and activities. In reading and writing, students will be presented with various authors and titles that will help them develop complete ideas and thoughts while expanding comprehension. In math, students will have access to manipulatives such as blocks, counters, and unifix cubes to provide an opportunity for visual understandings. In social studies, students will learn about their community and how they can become an active member in their classroom and school. Lastly, in science, students will experience the environment hands-on, learning about factors of nature such as weather.
