Philosophy
At Bella Rose Academy, we have developed a combination of curriculum for our students that utilize the Early Learning Guidelines for Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Academic Standards, and Abeka christian preschool curriculum. We strive to:
- To provide a safe, secure environment for children during their formative years.
- To provide children an opportunity to play, learn, and grow in a healthy, happy, creative way.
- To provide a responsible and qualified staff
- To provide a planned but flexible curriculum
- To provide a schedule that will allow freedom of individual choice and be well balanced in rest, activity and quiet play.
- Provide curriculum building upon what children already know and are able to do to enable them to connect new concepts and skills.
- Provide units or themes of interest in integrating and teaching across all areas of the core curriculum.
- (For example: foreign languages, language arts including listening, speaking, reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts).
- Provide a literacy-rich environment arranged in learning centers or learning areas. (For example: art, science, reading, dramatic play, blocks) Each center will have a variety of activities for the children. This arrangement supports a wide range of interests and abilities within the same learning space.
- Provide exposure to a wide variety of information and literacy experiences, and the use of appropriate technology through daily activities in the environment and/or media center.
- Provide a safe environment designed for the developmental needs of the age group served and implemented with attention to the needs and differences of the individual children.
- Provide an active climate; one in which children interact with each other and with appropriate materials while engaging in cooperative hands-on learning related to the interests of the children.
- Provide a balance of activities including child-initiated and adult-directed. These activities may be active or quiet, performed individually, or in large and small groups.
- Provide an environment sensitive to cultural, language, physical, and learning differences among all children.
- Provide what is needed to support a child’s full participation in learning. If needed, teachers may support learning through adaptive devices or adjustments to activities.
- Provide an ongoing process of collecting information from multiple sources about a child’s needs, which may include conversations with families, observation, portfolios, screenings, etc. in order to provide for his/her optimal educational experiences.
- Provide a Bible curriculum from a Christian worldview that plants seeds of faith in children that they can use throughout life.
