At Cape Carteret Presbyterian Preschool we realize children develop, grow, and mature at their own perfect pace.
Our curriculum takes into account the individuality of each child, and their special interests. Various styles of instruction are offered during the day, ranging from individual projects, to small group center activities, to whole group teacher directed activities.
We aim to provide learning through purposeful play… a.k.a. FUN!
So much to learn and explore at CCPP Preschool!
4 Year Old Class -A weekly topic is introduced to nurture the children’s curiosity, along with a letter (phonic sound and letter recognition are emphasized) and a number. Monthly, a shape, selected colors and a Nursery Rhyme are introduced as well. Various playtimes, math, hands-on, music, science, S.T.E.M, art and crafts, and writing activities are planned incorporating the weekly theme and the monthly components. Books are introduced to reinforce the topics and to foster the love of learning and reading. At group circle time we discuss and chart the daily weather changes, learn the months and days, pledge to the Christian Flag and the American Flag, review our letter sounds, number, color, and shape, and discuss our weekly topic. We sing interactive songs, and enjoy wonderful books. On Friday, we have a chapel service in our Church Sanctuary.
We use a variety of curriculum tools, but our primary resources are:
Scholastic Alpha Tales and Number Tales, the Creative Curriculum and
Creative Resources for the Early Childhood Classroom.
