Children’s
Corner Curriculum:
Hand
Writing Without Tears ( www.hwtears.com) is utilized across the facility.
Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline ( www. consciousdiscipline.com) is the
basis of Children’s Corner’s discipline policy.
Age appropriate curriculum consists of weekly themes
that are correlated with Bible verses.
Teachers
plan activities around the themes that will encourage development in social
skills, math, science, reading and
writing skills.
Because children
learn by doing we encourage the “hands on” learning approach. The learning
center environment
has always been
at
the core of each Children’s
Corner classroom.
