Big Day for PreK

Big Day for PreK is a proven research based comprehensive early childhood education program that builds upon children’s curiosity and interest, and encourages them to explore, play, and learn about the world around them. Big Day prepares all preschool children for kindergarten through intentional and engaging learning opportunities that build the necessary foundations in essential learning domains. The promotion of social-emotional development is integrated into the curriculum helping children build social competence skills, improved self-control, and develop relationships with their teachers and peers. Big Day for PreK provides a full- or half-day curriculum, an extensive collection of classic and contemporary children’s literature and nonfiction text, intensive language and early literacy development, technology that connects children, teachers, and families. The curriculum is designed to ensure children acquire knowledge, skills, and understanding each day through hands-on experience, purposeful play, and teacher-led instruction.

Along with our Big Day PreK Curriculum we also use parts of the Zoo Phonics & Handwriting Without Tears programs.
