Welcome to Pre-K Classrooms!

Our Curriculum 

The curriculum for our Pre-Kindergarten program is called, "The Creative Curriculum." This curriculum is designed for early childhood programs serving children ages 3-5. Based on a firm foundation of research, it also meets new requirements for addressing academic content appropriately. The two features that distinguish The Creative Curriculum® from other approaches are: the curriculum framework which is a unique organizing principle that promotes informed decision-making by teachers and the focus on interest areas. The framework defines the vital role of the teacher in connecting content, teaching, and learning for preschool children.

Our Pre-K Program

Our PreK classrooms are part of the North Carolina Prekindergarten Program (NCPK). We use The Creative Curriculum® as our guide and North Carolina Foundations for Early Learning and development is considered our "Standard Course of Study"; these are the objectives upon which our activity plans are based.  We believe in learning through play. It is our belief that PreK is the foundation for all future learning. Our goal in PreK is to provide developmentally appropriate activities and experiences. As PreK teachers, we are committed to providing an environment that fosters the development of the whole child-social/emotional, physical, intellectual, and linguistically. While encouraging exploration of the environment we will also foster the development of each child's ability to think, learn, and become lifelong learners.

At Ibraham Elementary School, we have two Pre-K classrooms for students who are four years old by August 31, 2019. Enrollment in our Pre-K classes is not through Ibraham but through Smart Start. The separate NC Pre-K Application process can be found on the WSFCS Pre-Kindergarten webpage WSFCS Pre-Kindergarten Information.
