Curriculum Designed Specifically for Young Innovators
Curriculum
The Little Innovators Preschool follows the HighScope model for our curriculum. The HighScope Curriculum uses a carefully designed process — called “active participatory learning” — to achieve powerful, positive outcomes. We believe children should be actively involved in the learning process.
The HighScope preschool curriculum focuses on the following eight areas to promote school readiness:
- Approaches to Learning
- Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development and Health
- Language, Literacy, and Communication
- Mathematics
- Spanish
- Creative Arts
- Science and Technology
- Social Studies
Our preschool will encourage child-initiated learning in an active environment, building upon children’s natural curiosity and promoting imaginative play and learning.
Culture
The Little Innovators Preschool provides preschoolers a developmentally appropriate early childhood experience that centers on play, group collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking which allows them to develop a growth mindset to help them excel in elementary school.
Just like our parent school, the Grande Innovation Academy, our culture focuses on skills and proficiencies your child will need throughout life. The Grande Innovation Academy developed an academic culture that takes education beyond textbook reading, writing, and arithmetic, including good time management, proper study habits, concentration, and the ability to set attainable goals.
The Little Innovators Preschool provides preschoolers a developmentally appropriate early childhood experience that centers on play, group collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking, allowing them to develop a growth mindset to help them excel in elementary school.
The Little Innovators Preschool will develop preschoolers that love to learn and can adapt to various learning situations including group collaboration and independent work time.
The Little Innovators Preschool sets the foundation for a successful transition into elementary school. We follow the Early Childhood Standards established by the Arizona Department of Education and provide an integrated experience for students of varying abilities and levels.
Curriculum and Nutrition
Little Innovators Preschool follows the Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence for our preschool curriculum. The Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence, meant for children between the ages of three and five, addresses the physical, social, linguistic, and cognitive aspects of development needed to create a coherent foundation for learning in kindergarten and beyond.
The Little Innovators Preschool also includes library, art, music and movement, Spanish, and gardening.
Parents will need to send their scholar to school with a cold lunch, 2 healthy snacks (AM,PM) and a water bottle.
At the Grande Innovation Academy and the Little Innovators Preschool we believe long-term healthy eating habits developed at an early age are easier to stick to later in life and that healthy eating habits have a positive effect both mentally and physically on every scholar, every day.
