The preschool curriculum is designed to engage the children in their first formal school experiences.
The QSIB Preschool uses Frog Street by Frog Street Press, Inc., a research-based, developmentally appropriate program that integrates the education of a preschool child through multiple domains with the special focus on social-emotional development, differentiated instruction and joyful learning through sensory experiences. The domains for each themed unit include: Language/Literacy, Mathematics, Science/Social Studies/Health, Gross Motor Development, Fine Motor Development, Fine Arts, Social/Emotional Development, and Independence/Self-help.
Each daily lesson plan is divided into different sections: Greeting Circle, Literacy Time, Math/Science Time, Center Time, Closing Circle, Home School Connection.
Greeting Circle – Introduces children to a weekly theme's topic through Morning Message
Literacy Time/Math/Science – Uses small group activities to teach key concepts through Read-Aloud activities and centers. STEAM activities combine various disciplines to develop mathematical and scientific foundations.
Closing Circle – reflects upon and reviews the activities from the day.
Home School Connection – develops and supports partnership with parents.
