Offering the Renowned Frog Street Pre-K Curriculum

Pre-K is the first step in a long journey. Make sure your child’s first step goes beyond daycare, make sure your child gets the academic foundation they need to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond.

The Frog Street Pre-K child care program was developed by renowned curriculum expert Pam Schiller, Ph.D. It’s based on current Texas Pre-K guidelines and supported by an impressive body of research on how young children develop early literacy and pre-reading skills. It’s already helping thousands of preschoolers develop the skills they need to be successful in Kindergarten. And doing so in an environment where every child feels safe and loved.

Frog Street Pre-K will teach your child:

• Social skills
• Physical skills
• Emotional skills
• Cognitive skills
• Language skills

Frog Street Pre-K’s approach to learning is fun-filled and hands-on. Fanny Frog, an endearing puppet friend, will be your child’s loving and joyful guide to learning:

• Science
• Math
• The Alphabet
• Literacy
• Social Studies
• Technology

Frog Street Pre-K also develops all the skills necessary for long-term educational success: self-confidence, curiosity, self-control, and more.

But it’s how these skills are taught that sets Frog Street Pre-K apart. Skills are taught through music, activities, games, make-believe and hands-on materials.

Each day at Frog Street Pre-K starts with the Greeting Circle. Children sing, learn calming and stress-relieving techniques and get a chance to connect with their classmates.

The Greeting Circle is followed each day by a Moving and Learning activity, where important skills are taught through singing, dancing and games.

Language and literacy are taught daily through the use of engaging themes as well as listening and participation activities that promote:

• The ability to hear and reproduce sounds
• Vocabulary
• Comprehension
• Written expression

Lessons are short, focused on simple topics and emphasize hands-on activities. Each lesson builds upon the previous lesson. Complexity is added a bit at a time. This time-tested instructional strategy enables even
Pre-K students to master difficult skills and concepts.

We’re proud to offer the Frog Street program as part of the child care we provide at The Children’s Courtyard. We urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to set your child on the path to success in both school and life.
