It is our goal to promote a physical, social, emotional and intellectual foundation needed to foster a positive learning environment for all children on our campus. Students will explore using all senses in learning as they discover the world around them. Tykes provides a developmentally appropriate structured environment where children are encouraged to practice making decisions which fosters independence and problem solving skills allowing for us to provide an intentionally loving, Christian atmosphere.
We employ educated Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers demonstrate longevity and loyalty to Cornerstone. Teachers attend at least 24+ hours of annual ECE training and maintain state licensing requirements. There are at least 2 teachers in each classroom, keeping our ratios lower than the State of Nevada Child Care Licensing requires. Low ratios allow for relationship building, higher safety standards & high quality learning environments.
We offer an emerging curriculum involving differentiation, process art, science & sensory experiences, fine & gross motor development, math, writing and early literacy. We also integrate the State of Nevada Infant & Toddler Guidelines & State of Nevada Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines into our weekly Lesson Plans.
Tykes has created a unique Bible Curriculum, consisting of Bible stories based on Fruits of the Spirit that are interwoven with our social/emotional curriculum. This curriculum is used in all of our age groups and focuses on developing Christ-like character traits. We use the Pre-K Engage New York Math curriculum alongside the Handwriting without Tears as our handwriting and phonics curriculum. We offer (not required) homework for Preschool and Pre-K students who would like the opportunity to practice skills at home.
Tykes Preschool has also created its very own Social Emotional curriculum focusing on self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making. Each one of these learning objectives are tied to Nevada State standards. We use the above mentioned curriculum and differentiate our activities based on individual needs. We are able to meet each child where they are at, and challenge them academically while also fostering their social-emotional skills. We provide a loving and safe environment to promote whole-child development.
Every child learns differently. We tailor our lessons and activities to meet each child’s unique needs and interests.
We foster a safe and supportive environment where children build positive relationships, learn to express themselves, and develop emotional resilience.
We believe in learning through play. Our classroom environments are designed to encourage creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.
We value strong communication and collaboration with families to ensure each child’s success and well-being.
