The Village Green Day School curriculum has been designed to integrate the essential elements of various models of early learning. It is a comprehensive and sequential program of learning from preschool to kindergarten. Montessori, Piaget, Gesell, Erikson, and traditional preschool practices have all influenced our teaching and assessment methods. Village Green recognizes that the element necessary for optimal development of each child is the bridge connecting parent, teacher, and child. Parents are thus encouraged to be part of all facets of their child's school experience. Beginning in 1998-99, Village Green implemented the Core Knowledge Preschool and Kindergarten sequence into the current curriculum. In addition to the core knowledge curriculum, Village Green’s broad program includes Discovery Science, “Roots and Shoots,” music and movement, drama, introduction to physical education, community service, computer exposure and/or instruction, and a foreign language program for our kindergarten students. Enrichment classes are also offered on an optional basis for those who choose to enroll.
