Our Curriculum

Precious Resources Preschool believes that the preschool years should not be underestimated in value. By the time a child is five years old 85% of their brain has developed, and children at age 3-4 have twice the brain activity of an adult, so choosing an educational experience becomes an important task.

We have an exceptional program that is innovative, exciting and interesting. Our objectives are:

  • To prepare children for kindergarten
  • To make a child’s first formal school experience positive and successful.
  • To encourage the natural curiosity of children
  • To plant the seeds of life long learning
  • To promote planet stewardship

Environmental Education

Environmental awareness is not only woven into our daily routine, but lessons about recycling, reducing, reusing, and composting are learned through “The Precious Planeteer Club”  which is a program developed exclusively by PRP to teach environmental education.  The Planteers are a group of characters that invite our students to be “good friends” to the Earth, The lessons the students learn throughout their preschool experience earn the children membership into the Planeteer Club upon preschool graduation.

…And the Right Values

Learning at Precious Resources Preschool takes place in an environment which values and respects the diversity of learners.  Our activities are designed to engage all learners through play, guided lessons, investigation, inquiry, and imagination.  Our curriculum has been designed to build upon itself.

Weekly Assessments

Our staff takes the responsibility of being a child’s first formal educator very seriously.  Our students are assessed informally through daily observation along with formal concrete assessments.   Parents receive communication each day about their child’s experience, along with an individual weekly progress report.  Conferences are held twice yearly. We utilize a nationally recognized assessment tool which tracks the developmental growth of our students throughout their preschool experience.  Our families also receive a compilation of their child’s work in the form of a end of year portfolio.

Introducing the Right Skills

We believe introducing children to a second language, various genres of music, and famous works of art expose children to the diversity of our world.  Our students engage in activities that are designed to enrich their vocabulary and language skills.  Our program will develop emergent readers and introduce fundamental math and science concepts.

Our art philosophy is both process and product based, as we believe both provide different benefits to a child’s development.  Through our daily art activities, children will develop fine motor skills, self expression, a positive self concept, and confidence.  Music is a wonderful tool for learning and has been linked to academic success especially in the subject of math.

Ready for Success

Our unique curriculum is a kindergarten readiness program that has been designed using the Early Learning Content Standards set forth by the State of Ohio. Our curriculum consists of developmentally appropriate activities that center around weekly themes, and our activities stimulate cognitive, social, physical, and emotional development.

Our collection of childrens' literature currently consists of over 400 selections that have been carefully chosen to enhance our curriculum themes.
