Curriculum
We utilize the high quality, researched based “Creative Curriculum” to help prepare our children for future school success. All children, with or without speech-language needs will benefit from our academic-focused and language enriched programs.
- Features fun, thematic learning units to address all areas of a young child’s development - social-emotional, academic, fine and gross motor and speech and language.
- Teachers use teaching strategies to help foster early literacy, math skills, art, music, movement and more!
- Technology centers give students hands-on computer learning
- Gymnastics and swim lessons provide students with fun extra curricular activities
- Curriculum adheres to the Hawaii Preschool Content Standards and prepares students for achievement according to the Department of Education’s Kindergarten Standards.
- Teachers have specialized training in these curriculums and work closely with our American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certififed and licensed Speech-Language Pathologists to help ensure successful implementation.
Enrichment Programs offered include: gymnastics with Island Tumblers Gymnastics, swim lessons with Leahi Swim School and music classes with Ohana Music Together. We are working with a hula halau to offer hula in 2013.
Our students enjoy quarterly field trips to places like the zoo, aquarium, Living Art Marine Center, Bishop Museum, Aloun Farms Pumpkin Patch and more!
Children with documented evidence of a speech and/or language delay will be admitted into our program and provided with intensive individualized speech-language therapy daily. Teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists will work collaboratively to integrate therapy goals into the daily classroom activites. Students will be integrated in an “inclusion” learning environment where all students can benefit from peer modeling and learning.
Students requiring speech-language therapy services will be provided with private one-on-one or small group therapy daily (Monday through Friday) with a speech-langauge pathologist sometime during the course of the regular school day.
