At Foothills Preschool we believe that each child is a unique individual with their own pattern and speed of development. Through our differentiated curriculum, we meet each child where they are developmentally and compose a plan for their individual growth and learning goals. Using a Reggio - inspired approach to early childhood education our teachers design an emergent, integrated curriculum based on shared interests of the students & teachers.
Our lesson planning is based on the California Learning Foundations for Preschool, published by the California Department of Education and we follow the guidelines for environment and curriculum recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the authority in early childhood education.

Classes
Report
Class placement is by age as of 9/1 of the current year. We are a 10 month program and our school year mirrors the Tustin Unified School District calendar as much as possible, starting mid-August and ending late in May. Children must be potty-trained, wearing underwear, able to take care of their own toileting needs.
Curriculum
Report
We are a Reggio Emilia Inspired, Play Based, Developmental Preschool. Simply said, we believe that building critical thinking skills is more important than feeding children information. Our emergent curriculum is a process where teachers plan activities and projects based on the specific group of children they are working with, taking into account their skills, needs, and interests.
