Curriculum
Kihei Baptist School uses the developmental learning program of instruction called the WEE Learn (Weekday Early Education) Curriculum. This Bible based, Christ centered curriculum reflects God’s love while teaching the children to understand his or her environment, personal capabilities, and others. Our curriculum is enhanced also by chapel time during which children all gather briefly and have fun singing age appropriate Christian songs. A pointed Bible lesson rounds out this important time.
Early childhood education emphasizes the development of a well-rounded personality for each child: socially, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, and physically. We recognize that each child is a unique person with an individual pattern and time of growth, as well as an individual personality, learning style and family background.
Play is an essential part of any developmentally appropriate early childhood program. Children acquire knowledge about the physical and social world in which they live through playful interaction with objects and people. Children need years of play with real objects and events before they are able to understand the meaning of symbols such as numbers and letters. Play enables children to progress in all areas of development.
