Culpeper Baptist Child Developoment Center

Children ages 2 to 12 years old and potty trained are able to enroll for this program. When classes are full, a waiting list is started. Vacancies are filled as they become available in order of the waiting list. Preschool is an exciting new adventure in your child s life. Our teachers are dedicated to helping our preschoolers explore and develop their sense of self. Our daily schedule provides flexibility and consistency, as well as a good mix of physical play, social and emotional development and communication. All our early academic lessons are geared towards furthering their development.

For the 2017 2018 school year, we will be introducing a new curriculum to the center called HighScope, an active participatory learning curriculum that supports critical thinking and problem solving, along with social development. Children s interests and choices are the heart of HighScope and children will learn to plan their activities, carry them out, and talk with others about what they have done and what they have learned with the curriculum s Plan, Do, Review process. Our goals for CDC children are to learn through active play with people, ideas, and materials. We want our children to become independent, confident, and responsible. These goals will be met by following the 58 Key Developmental Indicators (KDIs). KDIs define the important learning areas for young children, which are; social and emotional development, physical development and health, language, literacy, and communication, mathematics, creative arts, science and technology, social studies, and approaches to learning. HighScope teachers will keep these indicators in mind while planning lessons and setting up their environment. We are excited to prepare our CDC children for school and life. We encourage you to read more about the HighScope curriculum at https://highscope.org/preschool. Our teachers track your child s progress through our child assessment portfolio system and daily communication tools. Teachers use this information to share your child s growth during Parent/Teacher Conferences.

Children grades Kindergarten through 5th may be enrolled. Before & After school care is available for children from all six, Culpeper County Elementary Schools. Farmington and AG Richardson children will be transported by a county bus;whereas, Emerald Hill, Sycamore Park, Yowell, and Pearl Sample will be transported by the CDC bus.
