Through the use of themes and engaging activities each child will develop at his/her own pace. For some children this may be a natural progression, for others the skills may take additional time and practice. The following areas are covered in Leap Preschool's curriculum:

God's love is taught and explained through Bible stories. The children will learn that he/she is special and uniquely created by God, He loves each of us, and He sent His son Jesus to forgive our sins. One Bible verse will be taught and emphasized each month (as noted in the Monthly Themes Section).

The children will have opportunity to: express likes, dislikes and needs; complete tasks; wait his/her turn; play independently; and participate in group activities. They will also learn about classroom rules and how to care for toys/materials. Children will be encouraged to express ideas, develop vocabulary and communicate feelings and emotions.

The focus in this area will be on working and playing kindly with one another, trying new things, and increasing attention span.

Fine motor skill areas that are emphasized include copying simple shapes, using paintbrushes, cutting with scissors, assembling puzzles, coloring and drawing pictures. Gross motor skill areas include running, jumping, climbing, catching, bouncing, throwing a ball, and exhibiting stamina during physical activity.

The children will participate in activities using his/her full name, age, address and telephone number.

Children will have opportunities to listen, sing, explore basic musical instruments, mimic sounds and rhythm, and listen to a variety of music.

Arts and crafts activities will help children learn how to draw lines and shapes, recognize primary and secondary colors, and use their imagination to express ideas with various art media.

Introductory math concepts will include counting, using one-to-one correspondence to count 10 or more objects, number recognition, classifying objects according to attribute, identifying and naming basic shapes. These skills will be explored through creative and meaningful activities.

Through literature and hands-on activities children will learn about the wonderful world God has created. Plants, animals, colors and many other science-related concepts will be explored.

The children will listen to and re-enact various types of stories, explore books through pretend reading, sing and recite songs/poems. The children will also be able to look at pictures and tell a story using details.
By the end of the school year each child may be able to identify his/her name in print, as well as names of classmates, and identify many upper and lowercase letters, especially as they pertain to children's names. Some children may also be able to sound out short vowel words and read environmental print (i.e. hat, go, exit).

Children will learn how to print his/her first name and have exposure to proper letter formation and directionality. Expressing ideas through pictures and writing will be modeled.

Spanish is introduced through games, songs and hands-on activities.
