Our Program
Teachers
The teachers at Alphabet Farms are highly trained and loving professionals. Each possess natural abilities, enthusiasm and a positive loving manner. Every teacher is required to continue their education by attending seminars, conferences and completing college courses in the field of Early Childhood Education.
Curriculum
At Alphabet Farms we know children learn by doing. Consequently, our curriculum is chocked full of hands-on (sometimes messy) learning activities. By using a monthly theme, our lesson plans build on basic curriculum areas. For example, April is “It’s Growing” month where we hatch duck eggs in our school incubator. Through this activity alone we cover math, science, literacy, writing and more while discovering the miracle of life.
Assessment Process
Another unique aspect of Alphabet Farms is our assessment process. Each child's development is assessed upon enrollment and every quarter during their tenure. These assessments address the full range of early learning and development, including:
- Physical Well-Being and Motor Development
- Social and Emotional Development
- Approaches Toward Learning
- Language Development and Cognition
- Emergent Literacy
- Mathematical and Scientific Thinking
- Social Studies and the Arts
The staff uses the assessments to track each child's progress toward school readiness.
