Curriculum

Lighthouse Learning Academy believes that early childhood education is critical to proper development. We feel social and emotional education is the key to a great curriculum in addition to ensuring it prepares young children for kindergarten.

Our curriculum meets and exceeds the TEKS guidelines for prekindergarten as outlined by the Texas Education Agency. A quality program should provide a challenging curriculum that actively engages children in thinking, reasoning, and communicating with others. We believe our curriculum does just that and more!

Additionally, Lighthouse Learning Academy supplements its curriculum using the award-winning Kelly Bear C.A.R.E.S. Kelly Bear is a social/emotional curriculum with emphasis on anti-bullying practices.
