1. Curriculum Design And Learning Assessments: All preschool
curriculums are designed in-house and reviewed by the school's
director and sponsor/owner. Our preschool curriculum follows the
school's monthly theme while individual classrooms customized
activities to meet the unique needs of the class and child.
Preschool students are assessed three times a year to analyze and
assess developmental milestones and knowledge retention. Parent
teacher conferences are then held to discuss results of the
assessment to communicate current developments and future
developmental and learning goals for family and school. 2.
Preschool Three's - Steps Towards Independence: In our preschool
classrooms, our children are encouraged to be more independent
through self-help skills, cutting skills and skills to get them
ready to be more independence. For example, our preschool
classrooms eat all snacks and meals in unison. They are expected to
learn to have proper table manners, clean up, and more. 3.
Preschool Four's - A Child Ready For The Future: A combination of
structured and informal activities builds our before and after
school care program. We feature indoor activities such as arts and
crafts and board games while also providing children with a library
and quiet homework spaces. There are several opportunities for
outdoor activities as well, including team sports and natural
relaxation, which acknowledges every child's need to unwind after a
full school day. Your child's formal school day productivity will
benefit from our long and short-term goals in projects such as
cooking, music, dance and woodworking. 4. Balanced learning
approach of teacher-led and child-led classes: At Cresthill
Academy, our unique approach to education integrates key elements
from renowned early educational philosophers like Reggio, Piaget,
and Montessori. Cresthill Academy offers a Whole child development
approach with lessons on Empathy, Science, Technology, Engineering,
Arts, Math, Entrepreneurship, and Diplomacy. We recognize the
individuality of each child, and we believe in fostering diverse
learning styles to enrich their educational journey. By combining
the strengths of multiple teaching philosophies, we create a
dynamic curriculum that captures the best aspects of each approach,
providing a well-rounded and engaging classroom experience.
My son has been going to Cresthill for over two years, and it has been great. The teachers and the director are amazing and take care of the children very well. We love the Cresthill community!
