Literacy at the CORE
Monthly Curriculum Themes
Each month, The Malvern School implements age-specific activities and lessons based around a central theme. These themes are emphasized through finger plays, reading, writing, art experiences, spoken word and music to create a full understanding for the child.
STREAM Pre-K Enrichment
Although most are familiar with STEM or STEAM programs, at The Malvern School we take it a step further through our STREAM – Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics program for Pre-K students. We believe enriching lives with opportunities to explore all subjects through various activities is the best approach to developing the whole child.
Literacy Celebration Day
Four times a year, The Malvern School hosts a special day to celebrate our love of literacy. Literacy Celebration Day is a school-wide event in which all activities and lesson plans are based around one story. The day is an exciting and fun way to learn through play!
Young Authors’ Program
Each spring, Pre-K and Kindergarten-aged students have the opportunity to explore concepts of language development, early reading skills, art experiences, writing, and public speaking through our Young Authors’ program. Over the course of several weeks, students develop their very own storybook from concept to picture book creation. The entire experience is culminated on Young Authors’ Night- a special evening where children share their stories with their friends and family.
