Telfair EEC uses research-based curriculums that help students learn though exploration and discovery, empowering children to develop confidence, creativity, and become lifelong critical thinkers. We use the preschool learning framework that aligns with the CA Common Core Standards. We pride ourselves in being a safe, clean, and nurturing community school that welcomes parent partnerships to help all students love school, succeed in kindergarten, and beyond.

SPANISH DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM INFORMATION!

In Dual Language Education, students receive instruction in all content areas in both English and a second language (referred to as the target language). Students have a minimum of 50% of each instructional day in the target language. 

What are the goals of Dual Language Education? The three goals are bilingualism and biliteracy, academic achievement in both languages, and sociocultural competence.

We need joy as we need air. We need love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share. – Maya Angelou (1927-2014), American writer

 
The Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom goal is to help nature become an integral, joyful part of children’s daily learning. Children can make connections with the living world simply by interacting with natural materials. Unlike the uniform sameness in texture that plastic toys and manipulatives have, natural materials offer various rich sensory experiences. 
 
Every preschool has unique access to outdoor spaces. But no matter the location, everyone can step outside. “Big nature” elements of sky, sun, plants, and animals are in rural and urban settings alike. Nature is everywhere and its benefits are for everyone, but only if we go outside!
