| At MTCKC we use a base curriculum called "Ready, Set, READ. Building a Love of Letters and Literacy through Fun Phonics Activities" with a variety of resources to help them learn. We also use books as a foundation for our weekly themes. The majority of our books are from the two series The Berenstain Bears and Franklin The Turtle. We will do fun activities and crafts to help them remember the lessons they learn from the stories. We will use other books, Bible stories, songs, puzzles, crafts and sometimes movies to build on each theme. We will not be sending home daily "work" because we do lots of hands on activities that are not on paper. Although we do have a preschool curriculum, we believe that a child should have the freedom to learn in any situation. These years before they start formal school ought to be filled with fun learning experiences and learning to work with other children in a comfortable home-like environment. |

| Throughout our program we will follow a basic plan that includes monthly themes, even during the summer. These daily plans will go along with the themes of the week. There is a sample of the daily schedule below. |
| Cooking With Kids |
| Artist Expression |
| We will do a recipe that goes along with our Monthly theme. The kids will help make the food and then eat it for snack. The will be simple things but it will help them feel big and give them confidence in their abilities. |
| We will do some sort of art where they can express themselves and their talents. It can include painting, watercolors, finger painting, play dough and others, On days when it is warm and dry outside we will do these things outdoors. |
| Music Mania |
| Crafty Creations |
| We will have a special music time each day. The kids love playing the instruments and dancing around to the music. Sometimes we even make our own insturments to sing and dance with. |
| We will do a craft that goes along with our weekly theme. If you know of a cute craft that fits please let me know. I am always open to suggestions and love to hear fresh ideas! |
