✦ About Our Curriculum ✦

Abiding Presence uses a theme based curriculum, “All About Preschoolers,” developed by Dr. Debby Cryer,  a leading expert in the field of early childhood.  The curriculum is approved by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and has been developed just for preschoolers!   Aligned with New York State learning standards, it encourages learning through enriched play, reinforces skill development, and is academically strong, including science, math, and social studies. 

We follow Five Guided Principles:

  • understand how children learn

  • understand the fundamentals of child development

  • trust children

  • respect children as individuals

  • share knowledge with children

Our goal is to prepare children for Kindergarten and the years beyond, working with the expectations of the area school districts. Skills of independence, self-regulation, language and literacy are essential, along with preschool basics. Additionally, building self-confidence, self-worth, and character traits of Christian caring and sharing are integral to our approach.

✦ Our Classrooms and Playground ✦

Our spacious, well-equipped classrooms allow each child to explore a variety of fun, learning materials while developing their fine motor skills. An outdoor playground with age appropriate equipment is used on a daily basis. During inclement weather, a large, multi-purpose room (Good Shepherd Hall) provides the children with a large area for ball games, bicycle riding and gross motor skills development.
