At the preschool level Early Horizon's LifeStart curriculum is a balance of play and academics in an environment rich in choices. By providing children with activities that match their developmental needs and abilities, learning occurs easily and naturally.

     We prepare children for mastering the basic skills by developing good pre-skills. For reading and writing, we spend time reading to children and offer books for them to look at and read. We use their written name throughout the day and write other words for them. To develop mathematical skills, we first develop one-to-one correspondence and other foundation math skills. It is not significant for a child to count by rote to 100 if they can’t count out two objects. We instill a sense of curiosity, which allows their children to explore and question their world--science. We plan an extensive daily curriculum. Our lesson plans include a variety of activities that develop basic cognitive skills as well as gross and fine motor skills. Each classroom has a copy of their lesson plans posted so that you can see what your child is doing each day.
