To enhance our curriculum we offer a variety of enrichment programs:

Music Class
Each week, all students attend music class. In music class, students are introduced to basic music appreciation involving an understanding of the elements of music, musical forms, musical styles, and the enjoyment of participating in class.

Spanish Class
Five-day students three and older participate in Spanish. They are introduced to greetings, family members, body parts, numbers, colors, common everyday items, days of the week, and much more.

STEM Class
Students in the threes class and older will participate in this hands-on class covering topics such as sinking and floating, life cycles, static electricity, and others in a small-group environment.

Chapel
Chapel is a time to share stories from the Bible that will enrich children from any religious or non-religious background. Our intention is for each of our students to know they are loved by God and Christ without any judgment.

Letterland/Literacy
Students will participate in a literacy enrichment activity designed to expand the literacy curriculum beyond the classroom.

Movement Class
This is a gross motor activity class. Students in the threes class and older will enjoy activities such as parachute games, ribbon stick dances, scarf dances, and obstacle courses, just to name a few.

Occasional Programs
Occasionally, on-campus visitors will also be scheduled. We like to have the NC Museum of History teach about times past, and the Raleigh Parks and Recreation staff teach about native flora and fauna, just to mention a few.

Field Trips
Parents of children enrolled in the four-year-old program and transition class should expect field trips. There are typically four to six field trips planned in a calendar year.
