The curriculum for all Wooden Ladder programs encourages the children in their cognitive, social, listening, language and physical development. In an atmosphere of Christian love and caring, the preschool helps children develop new skills, social competence and a feeling of self-worth by:
- Providing a nurturing environment where children learn at their own developmental pace,
- Stressing the excitement of learning in a challenging and structured environment,
- Helping children gain self-confidence and self-control
- Developing age appropriate listening skills, and
- Encouraging the development of fine and large motor skills through dance, music, art and manipulatives.
The teaching methods used include verbal, visual and experiential. Wooden Ladder Preschool programs emphasize Christian values and provide children with a nurturing environment in which they can grow and learn.
