OWL is based upon the belief that immersion in a learning-rich environment is critical but not sufficient. The environment and interactions must be thoughtful and purposeful. All parts of the day should be considered opportunities for learning.Instructional design and strategies set OWL apart. Our team is encouraged to be intentional in their actions and words. We also weave in biblical principles and integrate our God Time curriculum that includes a daily Bible lesson, art projects, prayer and worship music. Our students will learn a new Bible story and memorize a new Bible verse every month and we also share them with families in our Parents Corner page. The intense focus on conversation provide an unprecedented amount of oral language, critical thinking, and vocabulary instruction.Through the use of essential questions, teachers help children connect content to their experiences, which takes them beyond role learning and leads to thoughtful and reflective learning. OWL is built upon a foundation of critical content area concept development. The literature ties to the concepts and vocabulary. OWL also provides daily English language development lessons designed to support English Language Learners. These lessons are tied to the key concepts and vocabulary of the day's instruction. ​ For our Path Finders and Explorers, the ABCJesusLovesMe Curriculum is a comprehensive, research-based toddler and preschool curriculum for ages 1-5, focusing on Bible, academics, and development.
