Our CurriculumKACP uses Assessment Tools for Early Childhood, a curriculum that focuses on the milestones for each age group. Through developmentally appropriate materials and activities, our teachers create weekly lesson plans that meet all areas of learning; i.e. social and emotional, cognitive, language and communication, physical development, etc. KACP also uses a faith based curriculum from Lifeway, Growing in God’s Word, that focuses on basic Bible truth. Foundational Bible stories and concepts of Biblical learning are taught through our weekly chapel gatherings, song, music and faith based reading material within our classrooms.
In addition to our curriculum, KACP also offers optional extra curricular classes such as Kinderdance/Gym and Sportball! Classes happen during the school day. Children are registered directly through their company websites: Sportball 18mos-2yrs: https://www.amilia.com/store/en/sportball-austin-area/api/Activity/Detail?activityId=xY4BB2y 3yrs: https://www.amilia.com/store/en/sportball-austin-area/api/Activity/Detail?activityId=xlK22Dy 4yrs-5yrs: https://www.amilia.com/store/en/sportball-austin-area/api/Activity/Detail?activityId=y04JJMy KInderdance www.kinderdancebywendy.com |
