Our
preschool teaching philosophy is founded on research-based early childhood
literature. BACC follows the California State Standards through the Preschool
Learning Foundation guidelines and the Creative Curriculum for
Preschoolers. Our framework focuses on
children’s physical development and health; social-emotional development;
language development; cognitive development; and perceptual and motor
development.
We believe that embedded instruction through
a variety of hands-on materials allows for maximum opportunities for child
development through self-exploration and discovery. We aim to prepare children
for kindergarten by exposing them to a wide array of engaging activities.
Our preschool
educational program uses a child-centered curriculum, which focuses on
strengthening early child development and school-readiness to promote
children's success in school and life.
Our preschool curriculum promotes a multi-modal approach to
learning.
Our preschool curriculum
includes, but is not limited to, listening skill development; math, science,
and literacy skill development; culture and diversity appreciation; art, music
and movement skill development; team-building activities, and self-help skill
development.
Our Brier/Glankler preschool program works in close collaboration with the Glankler Early Learning Center. We provide inclusion opportunity for students with special needs that are enrolled at Glankler. We believe that embedded instruction through a variety of hands-on materials allows for maximum opportunities for child development through self-exploration and discovery.
Throughout the day, we have a variety of different organized activities and projects in alignment with our monthly and weekly themes. These activities include, but are not limited to the following:
Arts and crafts
Cooking
Small group work time
Outdoor exploration
Gardening
Math and science activities
