the monthly Curriculum:
Preschool children have specific needs and limitations
including shorter attention spans and developing language skills.
They love songs, actions, stories, and routines, but
require simple, short activities.
Furthermore, educating a preschool child involves ample
repetition and review.
Learning expectations must be realistic. For example,
focusing on one learning target, one verse, and one new song a month is
reasonable.
Teaching children
relevant information that they can apply
to their lives is also critical.
Therefore, Early Foundations Curriculum was designed
specifically to meet the needs of the preschool child providing a foundation of
knowledge about Jesus Christ and Christianity through
twelve monthly topics.
Each month a new verse is presented, a
new song is
introduced, and four stories (Biblical and modern parables) are presented that
teach the love of God and the grace of Jesus Christ.
A Typical Sunday Experience with Early Foundations Curriculum:
10-15 minutes: Arrival, play time
5 minutes: Clean up, gather for circle time
15 minutes: Circle time
10 minutes:
Craft
15 minutes: play time, snack, parent pick up
List of
Early Foundations take home books by topic
Here. You can download
them by visiting the download page and searching on the name of the take home
book.
Early Foundations curriculum was also designed with
teachers in mind. The curriculum is easy to use, with little preparation.
Each month you will use a new binder with the verse,
song,
stories, and activities organized efficiently. The stories are beautifully
illustrated; the crafts are simple but effective, cutting down material
preparation time significantly.
Also, the established routine of the program not only
comforts the preschool child, but accommodates new teachers and helpers.
In addition, Early
Foundations curriculum can be used in
multi-age classes beginning at age 2 up to age
8.
Finally, Early Foundations curriculum provides the option
of giving each child their own take home book of the story that you read each
week. This unique option allows the parents and families of your students an
opportunity to read and reinforce the message that you taught on Sunday.
Each
take home book is 12-18 pages long, in color, with
parent/child discussion questions and the monthly verse printed on the back.
With or without the take home books, Early Foundations
curriculum is simple, effective, and empowering; teaching the preschool child
the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
