FANTASTIC CURRICULUM

We are equipped with the latest educational classroom amenities to make it easier for teachers to teach the A Beka Curriculum. Bent Tree Day School's unique thematic and Touch Math curriculum are designed to develop the "total child" through programs like hands-on computer experience, learning a foreign language, and developmentally stimulating programs and activities for all students.

COMPUTER LAB WITH INTERNET

Our Students will be able to communicate and exchange ideas with our sister schools around the world. Our onsite computer instructor is trained to instruct and challenge the students to create, explore, and formulate with the best computer system designed and set up exclusively for Bent Tree Day School.

The Bent Tree Day School curriculum is enriched with fun filled computer lessons every other day. Each of the exciting and animated lessons makes the curriculum come alive. There are more than 100 types of software to choose from. Many of them are coordinated with the lessons taught in class, so the children continue to learn while they are having fun. At Bent Tree Day School, we believe that the more senses involved in learning, the better the children will remember what they have been taught. With computer lessons, children improve their motor skills and hand-eye-coordination significantly by practicing skills such as learning to use the mouse and keyboard. Using educational programs like Jump Start and Disney Preschool, children learn basic concepts of shapes, colors, sequencing sizes, and letters of the alphabet with hands-on computer activities.

Our outstanding programs for the students include Fisher Price, Reader Rabbit, The Learning Company, Creative Wonders, and Davidson Learning Centers software that teach the children phonics, reading, math skills, and critical thinking through colorful games and activities. The trained teachers will individually determine the skill level of each student and assign the software for every class accordingly. Each of the games stimulates the children's minds and reinforces academic learning. The Bent Tree Day School's computer program is truly unique and wonderful, and children will develop and enhance their knowledge greatly.

LIBRARY / AUDIO CENTRE

This center is equipped with a reading and audio library. We believe that children love to learn new things and a reading and audio book library full of delightfully illustrated books and tapes will help our children develop their language and listening skills.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE / ESL

Our Bilingual Program enriches children with knowledge and understanding of the world today. Spanish as a second language is growing throughout our nation. Our curriculum will enable our students to be a part of this growth while acquainting them with the customs and language of other cultures.

MUSIC

Hello and welcome to another exciting year of music enrichment at Bent Tree Day School. Bent Tree Day School is pleased to present a program for your child that is not only great fun but also a joyful learning experience. Research has shown that music in the early years can make a profound difference for your child. Therefore, at Bent Tree Day School, we have specially designed activities and materials that contribute significantly to your child's musical, physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, while aiding language development and nurturing the ability to listen attentively.

Through this program, the stage is set for early symbolic thinking which leads to emerging literacy and writing readiness. Our goal is to use music and movement to help develop the whole child. And all the while, they're smiling, moving, laughing and having fun. Every year the children perform in the Spring Show to give you the opportunity to see how much they have learned and grown as well as showcase their talents. We look forward to the joyful sounds of children enjoying music and participating in all the many activities planned for this year!
