Our Pre-Kindergarten program uses a research and evidence based curriculum that is aligned with the Mississippi State University Early Childhood Institute. We have also partnered with School Readiness through like the implementation of the Mississippi Early Learning Guidelines. Every year we update the milestone set in place by the Tupelo Public School District and the Lee County School District.
Lessons are targeted through large and small group activities, individual instructional activities, and learning centers that are used throughout the thematic unit. The curriculum includes integrated language arts (listening, thinking, speaking, writing, viewing, and reading). Also included are music, art, math, social studies, science, dramatic play, and physical activities.
