Our Approach

Redwood Christian's foundation is built on faith, passion, hope, and love. Our academic curriculum includes language, math, science, geography, sensorial, practical life, art, music, and gym. We teach the alphabet phonetically and group the sounds in packets so students can easily move into consonant vowel consonant reading. We teach quantity first in Math so they have an understanding of what 5 is, 10 is, etc., and then we introduce the numerals. The children do a lot of food preparation and learn to serve themselves snacks and they are responsible for washing, drying, and putting away their own dishes. The works in our practical life area include many transfer and pouring works which help to strengthen their hands, develop eye-hand coordination, and increase concentration. This is then all linked to reading, writing, and math. Our hands-on approach to learning is not only applied in the classroom but to our beautiful campus as well! Many times a week we will spend time outside exploring our butterfly and vegetable gardens!

​

Our goal is to teach the importance of nutrition and having meals where all food groups are represented. We will provide a morning and afternoon snack daily. We put out two snack items each time and the students are free to choose both items. All of our snacks contain 8 grams of sugar or less. We are very conscious of food allergies and strive to serve only items that all students may have.
