At Sacred Heart Villa, our Pre-K 4 classroom is a place where children learn by doing. Every activity is planned for hands-on learning, so children build skills through sensory exploration, literacy, math, fine motor work, science, art, music and dramatic play. Curiosity leads the way and our teachers guide children as they discover, ask questions, and grow in confidence.
Our Curriculum
Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Short, playful daily lessons help children hear, notice, and play with the sounds in words. Through rhyming, listening games, and sound practice, children build the foundation they need to become strong readers.
Universal Handwriting Children learn correct letter formation step by step, using multisensory, developmentally appropriate activities. Strong fine motor skills and good habits now make writing easier and more enjoyable later.
Stories of God's Love Preschool Program
Bible stories help children come to know God's love in ways they can understand. Through storytelling, conversation, and reflection, children learn that they are loved and cared for by God. Children attend Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Atrium with Sr. Matthew) one day a week. The religion curriculum also includes booklets and activities to accompany each lesson and Bible story.
Learning Centers
Children rotate through learning centers that invite them to explore, create, and play with friends:
Our Themes
Our themes keep learning fresh and connected to children's everyday lives. Throughout the year, we will explore:
Each theme shapes our books, songs, art and play, so children see ideas from many angles and remember what they learn. Through hands-on learning, strong early literacy skills, and plenty of time to play and grow, our Pre-K 4 children leave ready, confident and excited for kindergarten.
