Sunny Tree House is a full day Kindergarten program licensed by the PA Department of Education. Our Curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards. The Common Core State Standards provide consistent and appropriate learning benchmarks for children in order to promote educational equality. Our curriculum follows monthly themes in which all topics discussed tie into that theme. Themes help make learning meaningful as they are a way to connect their life experiences to what they are learning. Students will also be introduced to a letter of the week, sight words, and journal writing. Our focus for a letter of the week will be recognizing the letter, writing the letter, and knowing the sound it makes. Sight words are frequency words that appear in the text. Journal writing integrates phonics and is aimed towards creating fluent, proficient, and confident writers. Students will participate in learning centers. Centers are designed to foster independence and learning through self-discovery. Keystone STARS encourages the use of creativity. Keystone STARS is a program Sunny Tree House has enrolled in that sets requirements for early childhood educators to promote the best and safest learning environment for your child In math, some topics we will explore are numbers 0-30, geometry, money, measurements, time, addition and subtraction. In science and social studies, we will explore our senses, our health, our environment, weather and seasons, explore the lives of famous people and events and develop a sense of community. Aside from curricular activities, your child will also learn very important life lessons regarding social skill, responsibility, and independence. They will make new friends and learn how to be helpful and kind towards others. I look forward to working with your family this coming school year. I can't wait to get to know your child and watch them grow as learners. Mrs. V
