International School of Minnesota

Building blocks of a strong academic foundation are developed by using a variety of teaching strategies that are appropriate for each developmental level of the ECE program.

• In Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten, children develop cognitive skills and acquire knowledge in the content areas such as language arts, math, science, and social studies in a variety of ways.
• Teachers plan and implement in-depth studies of topics or themes that are meaningful and relevant to the children, address the development of the whole child, and integrate all of the content areas.
• The physical classroom environment provides students with hands-on opportunities to develop skills and gain knowledge as they explore carefully designed learning centers and materials related to creative arts, dramatic play, manipulatives/blocks/puzzles, sensory and science experiences, and listening and reading opportunities.
• Daily routines such as taking attendance, calendar and weather time, and snack time also provide daily exposure and practice of skills and knowledge.
• In Kindergarten, students are applying these cognitive skills in structured learning activities in all of the content areas including math, science, social studies, and language arts.
