Pre-k and Kindergarten are taught by Ms. Tessie. For our Reading Curriculum we use Science of Reading from Teacherspayteachers Pre-k Students will be introduced to these skills. Some of them do develop the ability to read by the end of the school year with this program but even if they do not just being introduced to concepts in a way that is fun, hands on and engaging gives them the ability to pick up the skills easier when they are fully ready. Literacy Curriculum: This literacy curriculum can be scaled up for Kindergarten! This means that we are truly doing the work that is necessary to individualize the curriculum and creating space for the children to learn new things at their speed. Tara West Curriculum Teacherspayteachers Math Curriculum:
Hands on math curriculums lead to children who enjoy the process of learning and exploring math concepts. We want them to use these concepts in their play. Once that happens they will be able to hold on to this knowledge much better than simply using it during a work time at school. Teacherspayteachers Mindful Math

I choose a new curriculum for every year so that the children who are in my program for a couple of years do not get bored working on the same thing over and over. First Up the Preschool Group with Ms. Sienna! Preschool Curriculum: Explore the website! As a reminder Perfect Start Learning is about helping students individually. While we use curriculums in our program the curriculums are not more important than the children and what works for them. We do not follow the curriculums if it does not work for the children and we modify anything that does not work for them. Get Set for School I have spent the last couple of months working very hard on the new school year. I graduated so many students this year and it was very sad. For many of these children it was the last child in their family that I will have in my program. It's the end of an era as the last children who followed me off base have officially graduated.
I am so excited to see the new children come into my program and to see their faces and hear their voices as they learn something new and amazing. As the new group begins to ask me to look up new information for them. I am excited and hopeful for the changes in my career as I begin to take on new speaking engagements and learn more about how I want to establish my coaching business. So if you are a new teacher experiencing your first year of sadness as your students leave, don't worry your students will remember the encouragement and fun and the new students will learn from you too! Live Long and Teach! Ms. Tessie Family Engagement Events are about making sure families are included in the education of their child. We have two major field trips for the year:
Murray's Farms Lancaster Performing Arts Theatre We also do fun Recitals in the Winter and End of the school year. We have our Thanksgiving Lunch together One of the programs we will be starting will be the ability for the parents to come in and read a story to the class. In this way we can share traditions and cultures with the children in our program. We will also make avaliable 20 min parenting webinars for free! We can not do what we do here at Perfect Start Learning without the involvement of the parents. The parents are the first teachers of the children and you should always feel involved in the learning process. Monday and Tuesday- Library/ Social Studies
Wednesday-Music Thursday-Music/Science Friday-Sciene These are activities that we do to help expand our world and encourage learning of larger concepts. All of these are done in a fun way that is developmentally appropriate and encourages children to ask questions about the world around them. Miss Harmony will be able to teach our students yoga movements to help them continue to develop healthy habits. But another resource that can provide an excellent school to home connection is Cosmic Kids Yoga! Sometimes our littles have such a build up of energy or there is a wait between our next activities that allows us to use Super Yoga videos to help expend the energy before we begin our next activity. It is especially helpful on those days that we can not get outside due to heat or rain.
Try out this fun holiday themed Super Yoga with your child! And head on over to Youtube for more adventures that will bring you and your child joy because they will be sharing a part of their learning with you. Sometimes our littles need a little extra help processing their emotions and learning how to express themselves. Sometimes they need help to develop their confidence and independence. They ALWAYS need the adults in their lives to tell them they are awesome and we are SO glad they are here. This is why we chose to use the Slumberkins Curriculum. We begin building relationships from the very first day and part of that is letting children and their families know we are invested in their child's emotional and social well-being as they move through their education journey and take more independent steps into the world. Introduction to music for young children is about expanding their interests. It helps them with math and hand and eye coordination. Even if they do not pursue or continue with music study it was fun, hands on and they are able to practice playing music. It also helps with appreciation of different types of music. It is not about them mastering the music and playing it perfectly, its about them enjoying the process of learning something new. In this way they will seek out new learning experiences and feel confident that even if they are not the best at it, that they still had fun learning!
Prodigies Music All Concepts are introduced to all children, but we do not expect them to master all concepts. Starfall curriculum is set up to be a building block in which all children are able to learn new concepts in fun ways while not applying pressure to be perfect before we can move on. Here at Perfect Start Learning we are a one room school house, which is beautiful! The children are able to work through new concepts that they have learned during play with their peers. They formulate new questions and we often go off on tangets to explore what they are interested in based on the questions they have asked.
While we use this curriculum it is not used cover to cover with no regard for the different learning styles of the children. The best thing about this curriculum is we are fully about to customize it according to the skills the children are working out and if they need to have it taught to them a different way. Starfall |
