• We implement the Creative Curriculum which has 38 objectives for development and learning. These objectives coincide with Hillsborough County Expectations and School Readiness Goals for this age group.
• Our VPK Programs are taught by Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Marie. The main objective in VPK is to get each child ready for the transition into Kindergarten. The teachers develop activities to promote Kindergarten Readiness and the Social and Emotional foundation needed to support the children in their future endeavors.
• VPK participates in the Scholastics Classroom Magazines. These magazines highlight and support the main objectives taught throughout the year. One year subscription is $10.
• Our VPK Classrooms sends home monthly Standards to inform the children’s families of the main objectives for the month. These Standards progress in difficulty throughout the year. Our goal is to give each child one full month to attain a new objective before moving on to another. We inform the parents by sending home a copy each month in hopes to extend the education process outside of the classroom.
• VPK Main Objectives- Reading, Emergent Writing, Social and Emotional, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Gross Motor Development, Fine Motor Development, and the Arts
• We hold conferences in November and April each year. The teachers and parents meet and discuss the children’s current progress and future goals.
