Curriculum

We use Pinnacle*, developmentally appropriate curriculum, in the Infant–Pre-Kindergarten classes.  Pinnacle* is a research-based early childhood curriculum, designed with both teachers and students in mind. Based on the works of Piaget, Gardner, and Erikson, Pinnacle* provides teachers with lessons that engage children in developmentally appropriate activities. Pinnacle* is published in an easy-to-use, reusable format that includes lesson plan guides, activity enrichments, and long range goals linked to key standards.
