A busy day at the Ponderosa...
Children cannot learn or be happy in a chaotic and disorderly environment, nor when allowed
to become bored. This is why each child’s day is carefully planned, using the most up-to-date,
expertly designed, educational curriculum available.
Each classroom consists of children in the same age level and our preschool program is
specially designed for each individual age group. Today's children need to be taught a firm
foundation which enables them to develop socially, intellectually, emotionally, and physically.
Using the most up-to-date curriculum the A-Beka curriculum provides a Christian orientated
curriculum that keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. The A-Beka textbooks are
age appropriate learning materials that sharpen their listening skills, follow directions, and
practice eye-hand coordination as they learn letters and sounds and number concepts with
emphasis focusing on art, music, and stories. The A-Beka curriculum is utilized in laying a
sound foundation for future learning with the finest teachings available.
