Lighthouse Learning Academy Curriculum:

Lighthouse Learning Academy currently uses the CIRCLE curriculum by Children’s Learning Institute. This is a comprehensive curriculum covering all skill domains that support cognitive and social and emotional development and align with Texas Rising Star accreditation.

 

All lessons are teacher-directed lessons with child-initiated activities. Activities are playful, purposeful experiences across whole group, a small group, and center times with theme-based guidelines.
