The eight components of Links to Learning
-
Language & Literacy
We encourage communication and vocabulary development by creating a literacy-rich environment that introduces children to a wide range of stories, letters and words.
-
Mathematics
Hands-on experiences with basic math concepts help children learn the foundation of addition and subtraction, and different ways to compare quantities.
-
Social-Emotional
Children discover how to respect the feelings of others, while learning how they fit into the larger world using problem-solving activities to reinforce character education.
-
Wellness
Children develop mobility, balance and fine motor skills through dance, games and physical activities. Basic nutritional concepts are introduced to help them make healthy choices.
-
Creative Expression
Children create sounds, explore textures and discover music and art in various ways. Through music, art and imaginative play, they learn self-expression and creative thinking.
-
Science & Social Studies
Different types of families and community helpers are introduced as children explore geography and culture, and create fun science experiments. Children also share their own family experiences.
-
Citizens of the World
We integrate Spanish throughout the day to give children a head start on mastering a second language. In addition, we focus on awareness of diverse cultures and traditions around the globe.
-
Digital Interactions
Children learn about different uses for technology and how they have changed over time. We also review terminology and provide opportunities for students to use technology to express themselves creatively.
Links to Learning
The perfect balance of learning and play®
Links to Learning, our preschool curriculum for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, takes advantage of a child’s readiness to learn with activities that are fun, challenging and engaging. Links to Learning is organized into five developmental stages incorporating eight subject areas. At each stage of the preschool journey, we introduce new concepts and skills while reviewing and re-enforcing existing skills.
