PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

Welcome to the Brilliance Preschool Program. Every child learns and develops his or her skills through meaningful concrete experiences. The ABeka curriculum is used to accelerate each child’s development.

Children go through a process of learning and strengthening their basic skills in several specific areas. They engage in fun concrete activities that help to strengthen their finger muscles in order to begin writing. They are taught to write their first and last names. Children also learn to recognize the letter sounds in preparation to learn how to blend these into words. As they progress in these recognition skills, they learn to recognize short and long vowel sounds and are encouraged to begin reading simple Bob books.

Concrete Math and hands-on Science is part of the development process. Children learn their numbers using concrete objects and learn to distinguish between objects by size and shape. In Science, students develop their understanding of the world through focused natural activities such as growing plants and studying insects. Children are exposed to Spanish through upbeat songs, general greetings, and names of common objects.

Emphasis is placed on developing confidence through opportunities to speak or perform in front of an audience. Good manners and habits are also promoted on a daily basis.
