Curriculum

All Lupine Lane programs implement a progressive approach to educating the whole child, considering each individualʼs intellectual, physical and emotional needs. Our Motherʼs Day Out Program will also utilize a “whole child” approach and will include a variety of hands on experiences in music, art, cooking, dramatic play and more. Childrenʼs literature will be utilized throughout each day to instill a love of books and reading. Kids will be encouraged to evaluate information and formulate questions and plans to process the presented material. These meaningful experiences will provide real world application and enhance lessons in reading, math, science and language and cultural studies.

Lupine Lane is a member of the International Preschool Curriculum. The IPC “is a fully researched and reviewed curriculum encompassing the latest educational methods and proven traditional teaching approaches. It is the first curriculum to encourage local cultural traditions and promote internationalism as a theme throughout its teaching. The curriculum also includes current affairs themes such as ecology and conservation” (as stated on IPCʼs website). We will use the International Preschool Curriculum in combination with the Texas Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines to inform short and long term goals, lessons and assessments. In addition, we will incorporate Living Values, an educational program that emphasizes global values such as peace, respect of self and others and tolerance. Children will learn about other cultures and gain tools that will allow them to understand and embrace differences. The program encourages social interaction as well as self-reflection.
