Developmentally Appropriate Practice is teacher decision-making based upon a teacher’s knowledge of how children, in general, develop and learn; what that teacher knows about the individual children in their group; and the knowledge of the social and cultured environment in which those children live and learn.
Emergent Curriculum emphasizes an educational approach that draws from the daily life of the children and adults in a program, particularly from the children’s own interests.
Skill Area Readiness is the preparation of the children in key academic areas – Reading, Writing, Math, and Social Science – by developing a strong foundation of the skills needed to later perform in these areas.
Catholic Environment – Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is first and foremost a Catholic community. We believe that children learn best in an environment,b which is inclusive, nurturing, and loving.
