Life Skills & Science Life Skills

  • We explore a new A–Z science or life skill theme that connects to our letter of the week—whether it’s dinosaurs, baking, astronomy, farms, robots, outer space, and more!

Reading & Writing

  • Students learn rhyming, clapping out syllables, and playing with sounds—building a strong foundation for reading through our Heggerty Curriculum.

  • Students will master all letter names and letter sounds through the research-based Fundations Phonics and Reading Curriculum, a multisensory structured literacy program rooted in the Science of Reading.

  • Students will learn to decode and read a variety of words and leave as confident readers.

  • Students will learn to write their first and last name, develop handwriting skills, spelling, and write simple sentences.

​​​​Mathematics

  • Students will develop essential foundational mathematics skills.

  • Our approach starts with hands-on learning, moving to visual models, and then builds to abstract problem-solving.

  • Identifying numbers from 0 to 20.

  • Counting to 100 by ones, and skip counting by tens and fives.

  • Identifying shapes and patterns.

  • Solve basic addition and subtraction.

  • All of these outcomes are achieved through interactive games, physical movement, and hands-on learning. ​

STEAM

STEAM Fridays at CCA

  • Every Friday, our classrooms transform into hands-on STEAM labs where curiosity leads the way!

  • Our preschoolers become little builders, scientists, artists, and problem-solvers as they explore fun experiments, creative projects, and hands-on activities that make learning come alive. 

  • These special days give children the chance to explore, build, and imagine in exciting new ways, all while developing teamwork, confidence, and a love for learning.

Character Building

  • Students will learn about our 3 C’s; Curious, Confident, Caring—we help children build strong social skills and develop positive character traits that will guide them for life.

  • We believe deeply in the power of imaginative play to spark creativity and build social-emotional skills.

  • Every child receives a learning experience tailored to their individual needs and growth.
