G-A PRE-K CURRICULUM

The G-A Pre-K classrooms utilize the Creative Curriculum and incorporate American Sign Language (ASL) into their daily routine.

The Creative Curriculum encourages children to experiment, explore and pursue their own interests. Teachers give children many opportunities to work with concrete objects and to discover the logic of how these objects behave. In the Creative Curriculum classroom, instruction is based on observing and documenting what children do and say. The teachers provide opportunities for every child to pursue his or her special talents and to demonstrate areas of strength.
