Goals
St. Francis School is child-centered and theme-based.
We strive to provide an exciting environment with opportunities
for discovery, initiative, and inquiry. Developmentally
approved activities are planned for each content area
to give success and challenge to each age level. A balance
between teacher-initiated activities is sought with emphasis
on the child's choice. Materials are gathered, created,
and purchased with these goals in mind. |
|
A three-year-old will experience the many "hands-on"
learning activities, including mastering simple tasks. This
is a year of discovery and taking pride in accomplishments.
A four-year-old will learn basic readiness
skills including language, numbers, music, and art. Social skills
are addressed as the four-year-old becomes increasingly aware
of peers and the need for acceptance. Physical activity and
movement are incorporated into this curriculum.
Kindergarten helps the five-year-old to assimilate
and organize learning. Reading, math and writing are important
elements of our program. We provide the needed outlets for social,
emotional, physical and creative growth as well. |
