Christ Church School has chosen The Creative Curriculum for Preschool.  This curriculum rests on a firm foundation of research and is guided by national standards.  Curriculum goals and objectives are presented on a developmental continuum.  This continuum is a tool for teachers to use when observing children’s development and tracking their progress in relation to curriculum objectives.  While The Creative Curriculum provides a framework for each teacher, this curriculum is driven by teacher-selected themes with a literature enhancement.  The body of knowledge imparted to all children is covered through the following six content areas:

• Literacy:  Vocabulary and language; phonological awareness; letters; words; print; comprehension; books and other texts
   
• Mathematics:  Numbers; patterns and relationships; geometry and spatial awareness; measurement; and data collection, organization and representation
   
• Science:  The physical properties of objects, living things, and the earth and the environment
   
• Social Studies:  How people live, work, and get along with others; and how they shape and are shaped by their surroundings
   
• The Arts:  Dance; music; dramatic play; drawing and painting 
   
• Technology:  The basic operation and use of everyday tools
