The preschool curriculum used at Saint Paul’s meets and exceeds the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) guidelines from the State of Texas. Based on contemporary best practices for pre-K and Kindergarten, our curriculum provides a readiness foundation to equip our students to be successful in Kindergarten and beyond. Saint Paul’s utilizes the following programs:

Learning Without Tears (PK3-4, TK), Sentence School (TK):  This curriculum draws from years of innovation and research to provide developmentally appropriate, multisensory tools and strategies for the classroom. Research shows that preschool children learn more effectively by actively doing, utilizing materials that address all styles of learning. Sentence School is an innovative new writing program from Learning Without Tears that helps children develop vocabulary, conceptual thinking, grammar, and independent writing skills. It’s a complete, interactive program that works alongside the handwriting curriculum, making it easy to integrate handwriting with other language arts activities and curriculum.

Conscious Discipline strategies are incorporated to help support social and emotional intelligence, foster self-awareness and develop techniques for children to use to monitor and change their own behavior.

PK 2 students will be introduced to the basics: letter, number and color recognition; social interaction and cooperative play; following directions and rules; etc.
