Links to Learning, our proprietary 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 six developmental stages incorporating seven subject areas. At each stage of the preschool journey, we introduce new concepts and skills while reviewing and reinforcing existing skills.
The seven components of Links to Learning
Language & Literacy
We inspire a love of reading and language by creating a literacy-rich environment that introduces children to a wide range of stories, letters, and words.
Mathematical Thinking
Children learn the foundations of addition, subtraction, and geometry, and learn different ways to compare quantities. Activities are designed to develop reasoning and problem-solving skills.
Social-Emotional Learning
Children recognize and label emotions, while learning how they fit into their community and the larger world. Teachers use problem-solving activities to develop children’s self-help skills.
Wellness
We help children develop fine and gross motor skills through dance, games, and physical activities. Basic nutritional and safety concepts are introduced to help children make healthy choices.
Creative Expression
We expose children to various music and art concepts, through vocabulary, discussions, and hands-on activities. Children practice self-expression as they engage in imaginative play.
Scientific Exploration
Children participate in hands-on science, engineering, and technology activities, while building important life including problem solving, collaboration, communication, analytical reasoning, and investigative thinking.
Citizens of the World
We focus on social studies, diverse cultures and traditions, and world languages. Spanish is integrated throughout the day to expose children to a second language.
The Hallmarks of Links to Learning
At the heart of our Links to Learning curriculum lie five hallmarks: Social-Emotional Learning, Center-Based Learning, Literacy-Based Curriculum, Personalized Learning, and Family Communication. These key features help us foster an environment where students can explore, discover, and thrive.
Our teachers and school leaders strive to make communication as seamless as possible—giving you one less thing to worry about. We believe that your involvement in your child’s early childhood education is invaluable, and we’re here to provide the support you need.
At our school, social-emotional learning matters just as much as reading and math. From learning to share and taking turns, to making friends and managing emotions, social-emotional skills are integrated into everything we do. Every activity in our classrooms is designed to help students build confidence and independence needed for a lifetime of learning.
Centers are defined areas of our classroom that allow for hands-on learning in smaller groups and help children make connections between abstract concepts and real-world experiences. Whether playing with friends in the dramatic play center or conducting an experiment in the science center, your child will have a blast as they move throughout our classroom. Centers help build problem-solving, communication, and self-regulation skills.
Our teachers build learning experiences centered around captivating books and provide students with constant access to printed text. Students forge meaningful connections between words and illustrations, and ask questions sparked by their natural curiosity. Teachers label classroom materials with photographs and words, facilitating familiarity and promoting independence.
Teachers employ a wide range of strategies to ensure that every student’s educational journey is uniquely tailored to their needs. Through small group interactions, they fine-tune lessons to match each student’s pace of growth and development. We cultivate an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, welcome, and empowered.
