Academic Curriculum

The Pro-Kids Academic Curriculum was designed and developed within a framework of seven disciplines.  They represent curriculum areas for age six weeks until entering kindergarten.  The curriculum represented the standards for what is developmentally appropriate for children to accomplish during their preschool years in order to prepare for kindergarten.  The curriculum established benchmarks for achieving preschool goals.  Progress notes helped assess and document each child’s developmental progress per discipline.  The academic curriculum encompassed:
