Challenge School preschool Chinese textbook

Through poems, songs, games, art, and daily conversation, children will acquire the language during our morning Mandarin Immersion program.  All of our Chinese teachers are mostly native speakers with qualified Early Childhood Education training.  Challenge School has published four Chinese textbooks for our 3-5 years old classes.

Preschool Creative Curriculum

The Creative Curriculum® helps preschool educators to create high-quality programs that meet the unique needs of the children and families they serve.  The Creative Curriculum focuses on how young children learn best by doing.  The physical space of the Creative Curriculum classroom is organized into learning centers, for example: Block Center, Dramatic Play, Art, Literacy, Discovery, Sensory, and Music/Movement.   

Social Curriculum

Social Curriculum

Social curriculum

According to the NAEYC, social curriculum should be the primary curriculum in early childhood education. Each month, our teachers discuss a social/emotional goal and give examples of  character traits through puppet shows and stories.  At the end of the month, our teachers pick a child who demonstrated each character trait to be the star of the month.

Kindermusik

Our preschool program provides a bilingual Kindermusik curriculum in the morning/afternoon. In our child care curriculum, our music teacher Ms. Wang, guides the class towards a learning objective with the children as active participants in the learning process.

Preschool English curriculum

Our preschool teaches Mandarin immersion in the morning and English curriculum in the afternoon.  We provide opportunities for children to have fun with language and to develop verbal skills by introducing various activities.  We use Zoo-phonics as our phonics foundation.  Zoo-phonics combines sound and kinesthetic movement so that children can remember the sounds of the alphabet easily.  

Just Play!

Play based learning

At Challenge School preschool, besides Chinese, English, and music, we have PLAY! A lot of play means a lot of creativity. Children are happy to come to school! 

Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is the most inspiring, engaging, and effective instructional approach teachers can use when teaching our youngest learners. In PBL, young children take an active role in their learning, developing key knowledge and skills that lead them to become more independent and collaborative. PBL empowers students to learn and discover fundamental lessons about themselves and the world around them.
