Current CurriculumCore Beliefs of Chesterfield Academy's Unique H.O.P.E. Learning Program The Hands-On Progressive Education Learning Program (H.O.P.E.) is based on the knowledge that children learn best through hands-on activities. It is rooted in a belief that we should teach children how to think for themselves through the process of discovey. Our teachers are facilitators of learning who encourage children to use a wide variety of activities to learn. They encourage children to learn by discovery, and create a flexible curriculum that is influenced by the interests of the children. Weekly themes are provided to create an interest in the children throughout the year. Lessons include age-appropriate activities related to the theme for that week. These activities include hands-on science and cooking projects, arts and crafts, language development, mathematics activities, songs, games, and daily gross motor skills. Most importantly, the children will gain a sense of self-worth and a love for learning along with the tools for age-appropriate social skills while interacting with other children. Children at Chesterfield Academy are happily geared for the future! *Preschool education activities are what teachers use to enhance the growth of language, logic, pre-reading and counting skills of young children. These activities easily develop into active learning experiences for preschool children and enrich early childhood curriculum. January
